Message: <blockquote data-quote="DarkLord Of DForce" data-source="post: 5551061" data-attributes="member: 85416">While I agree that anyone hit with blindness would know they are blind, and what blindness does to them, I disagree that they would know, for example, the name of any power that did it, and how it works.Let's say I'm hit by some monster that uses power x to blind me, until the end of my next turn, and as long as I'm within an aura 2 of him, and end my turn there, it happens.Now I'm my character...I end my turn adjacent to the monster. I know I'm blind. I know I take a -5 to hit, I don't get OA's, etc, etc, but I absolutely do not know the name of the power that did it, I don't know that its a zone 2 (unless like in the case of Temple of Brilliance, there is a visible manifestation of the power), and I don't know when it goes off, until it does.Usually the DM will tell you - usually, but its not like the monster that did it is going to say, "Oh, BTW, you're only blind until the end of your next turn"... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Not totally disagreeing with you here, but...remember I'm stealthed inside of a 25 square edifice. Also, they would know they are blinded, agreed - but it only happens when they end their turn in the Zone. Not because of any current or direct attack. So while at the end of their turn, they would know they are blind, they wouldn't know it was me, I'm stealthed and they certainly would not be able to say, "Oh I'm blind - must be Temple Of Brilliance"...although after it happens, I would agree that an intelligent monster could guess that it was something to do with the edifice/zone they were in.Thanks.</blockquote>
