[QUOTE="moritheil, post: 4219432, member: 30610"] Yes, well, I didn't argue that it was not "strong" just that it was not "broken" or "too powerful" (the OP's wording.) Another poster has a relevant comment with a slightly different stance that I feel is reasonable: Of course blindness and nausea are not identical, but they are in many respects comparable in terms of quality as debuffs. Certainly nausea has its own issues, but blindness enables sneak attack, which I feel is quite potent at low levels. There are also very few ways of getting around blindness at level 3 - I don't think dimension dooring, etc. are real issues. Low-level opponents firing area spells into combat blindly (with a high potential for hitting their own frontliners) is also not something I perceive to be a terribly worrisome prospect in most cases. A full attack is fine, but you need to ascertain which square to full attack. I guess I'm just not seeing eye to eye on the assertion that nausea is significantly more powerful than blindness. I can see situations where one would be better than the other for each. [/QUOTE]
