[QUOTE="Perun, post: 1941199, member: 6037"] The Blindsight, 5-ft. radius was converted to 3.5 in the SRD (look under Divine feats): As for the Blindsight wild feat (from MotW), it was never officially converted. However, I play a druid with the feat, and my DM and I converted it: The changes in the feat are primarily due to the changes to the (dire) bat in the MM. In 3.0, bats had very poor sight (limited to 10 ft., IIRC), but they compensated it with their excellent sonar (i.e. blindsight). D&D 3.5 introduced the split between the blindsight and blindsence abilties, and gave normal (human-equivalent) sight to the bats. Bats now get blindsence 40-ft.-radius. My druid has had the feat since 9th-level. It's a rather useful feat (hence the prerequisites), but not an overly powerful one, as you still have a 50% chance of missing your opponent in darkness (actually, it's less than 50%, since you roll twice in melee, due to the Blind Fight feat, which is a prerequisite). The 'Special' bit is flavour only. I liked the idea of my character undergoing a slight physical change due to the development of the new ability. Another option, if you're a druid and if your DM allows it, is to take the Dragon Wild Shape feat from Draconomicon. It gives you all the Su and Ex abilities of the dragon shape you assume, which includes superior low light vision, darkvision, and blindsence. [/QUOTE]
