Assuming they are trying the same thing there isn't going to be a whole lot of effective dodging, feinting, or parrying going on like their might be in a sighted fight. So yeah, the whole advantage / disadvantage canceling out thing works just fine in the abstract. It won't be as pretty as a sighted fight, but probably just about as fast and deadly.The really tough part of fighting in the dark is guessing what square your enemy is in. Trying to swing a sword at someone when you have no idea if they are even in one of the 8 squares near you is going to be a terrible inaccurate affair, even without disadvantage.- Marty Lund</blockquote>
