[QUOTE="Burne, post: 159934, member: 3450"] The readying an attack issue. Yes, it works. I assume you could word your trigger in such a way such that it doesn't work, but that's your fault. " I ready a partial charge against any enemy suddenly appearing in my charge range" is just perfect and assumes no knowledge of exactly what the mage did. Blindsight: Blindsight is powerful, how powerful is up to the DM. All I can offer is the SRD listing for it and perhaps some commentary. From the SRD: BLINDSIGHT Some creatures have the extraordinary ability to use a nonvisual sense (or a combination of such senses) to operate effectively without vision. Such sense may include sensitivity to vibrations, acute scent, keen hearing, or echolocation. This ability makes invisibility and darkness (even magical darkness) irrelevant to the creature (though it still can’t see ethereal creatures). This ability operates out to a range specified in the creature description. Blindsight never allows a creature to distinguish color or visual contrast. A creature cannot read with blindsight. Blindsight does not subject a creature to gaze attacks. Blinding attacks do not penalize creatures using blindsight. Deafening attacks thwart blindsight if it relies on hearing. Blindsight works underwater but not in a vacuum. Dragon Blindsight... how powerful is it really ? All Blindsight is very powerful. 300ft blindsight is crazy. Can he ID different characters ? Tough call, definition says can't "distinguish color or visual contrast" which _could_ mean that your can identify all other identifing clues (like smell or weight or size) and you can ID different characters. Or you could argue the other way. Personal opinion, it's blindSIGHT. It works as well as vision. How precise can he pinpoint them ? As precisely as sight can and a bit better as well. Magic spell wise, I consider blindsight to defeat any magic that See Invisibilty would defeat. I would understand others as placing it a step above that and defeating all Concealment type magic. Another DM call. Burne Too lazy to Spellcheck [/QUOTE]
