[QUOTE="sullivan, post: 2076337, member: 28152"] Well that is separate, but related issue from Illusions flanking. However seeing isn't the gist of his ruling at all, it is sensing. Blind-fighting allows you to sense enough to fully defend yourself, and fight nearly effectively as with partial concealment (25% chance to miss as opposed to 20%). After that it is my suggested extension from sensing to awareness guideline to clean up some of the muckiness and other oddities that can pop up (like intentionally closing your eyes). I'm just trying to clean up his line of thought that isn't fully developed. Remember that paper's worth of hashing out? :) That is sometimes the problem with the semi-offical blurbs, and is very likely the reason that this and many other illusion related issues weren't addressed explicitly in the core rules. Brevity. You think laying down some guidelines for illusion situations that the rules don't directly address is bad? Not treating them as being in the same 5' square causes much, much skull imploding to follow due to AoO, AoE spells, reach, etc. You are free to try though. :) [/QUOTE]
