can a deaf person blindfight?

[Daalbar]

I always assumed that there was some sort of reliance on other senses for a character to be able to use the blindfighting feat, but there is no indication that that is case in the blindfighting write up... so what do you think? should a deaf person, or just someone in a very loud environment, possibly also with vibrations be able to use blindfighting? Or is blindfighting some sort of mystical ability that just lets a character with the feat "anticipate" any opponent's actions?

(kinda like spidey sense)

sure, I'd allow it. I don't like to get too caught up in the realism

Nothing mystical involved... I'd assume blind fight meant the character is good at anticipating a creature's movements based on scant information. I'd allow this, and assume that knowing where it last attacked you from or being able to figure out what part of its body your last blow connected with are enough clues to make the feat work.

I agree; if the character wasn't deaf, then sure, I'd allow him to say it was his accute hearing. If he was deaf \ or in a noisy environment, then he might feel a whiff of air or just have anough battle expirence to anticipate where to place his blow.
