[QUOTE="Runestar, post: 5405125, member: 72317"] I can't access the article (not being a subscriber), but just reading the sample entry on blinding your foe has left me feeling somewhat uneasy.:eek: That said, I am sure that must be a ritual to cure blindness or something. It seems more viable as some sort of downfall the villains bring upon themselves (eg: the lightning bolt intended for you rebounds back in his face, blinding him), and the PCs decide there is no need to finish him or bring him to justice as he has been punished enough. Rather than a punishment the PCs inflict. It is not without precedent though. In Rurouni Kenshin, he has maimed one of his foes as a way of disabling them (causing them to no longer be capable of wielding weapons) as an alternative to killing them. [/QUOTE]
