[QUOTE="Henry, post: 1800774, member: 158"] I find nothing unbalanced about that feat whatsoever. This said, that is the STUPIDEST set of prerequisities I've ever seen for what amounts to a magical or supernatural power. Not even a requirement to be a spell-caster? Or have an earth-based creature in your family bloodline? or - well, ANYTHING but to be healthy and wise? The only thing missing is to possess funds equal to 5,000 gp - that way, they could work "wealthy" into the picture too. :D What the heck? As to not allowing blindsight to PC's I don't have a problem with the ability - but it does need to have sufficiently high requirements so that it is not easily acquired, or is acquired on a temporary basis via spell. Even Earth sense is still not Blindsight - it does nothing to negate concealment, etc. Blind-fight is not that bad, and the feat SHOULD give you some benefit. Even still, you're missing one attack out of four on average, whether it would hit or not - and that's a pretty serious hurt. I think my problem is more with how they altered darkness than the interaction between the two. If someone comes up with a good combo, great for them! I'm not for altering a combo just because it's powerful. I'm for altering it if it gives someone too much advantage for too little investment. Deeper darkness has 1 day/level?
