Message: <blockquote data-quote="Guest 7037866" data-source="post: 9467201">Actually, I researched this when designing the Rell a long time ago.Depth perception beyond roughly 30 feet is not impacted by missing a eye. At that point, because our eyes are so close together, it doesn't matter.Also, with practice/training, missing an eye even at shorter distances has very little impact. Our bodies adapt.I had a friend in high school who was missing an eye, and I always wondered why it never seemed to bother him doing things or driving, so I learned why when researching this.It is meant to be 30 feet. An oversight (lol) when I was re-typing this into the 2024 version.And besides, it is D&D and magic and such features exist in the game which make no sense really. If you want to include my design but add some "realism" to it, make the range 20-40 feet and have the Rell use their reaction to do it. Then you can literally have them move into the target's space or whatever to intercept the source of damage.We considered something like this as well, but since the Rell can move its eye full both ways, it really didn't make sense. The only reason a human missing an eye would suffer peripherial vision loss is because, really, the nose gets in the way of the eye looking to the other side...  <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🤷‍♂️" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f937-2642.png" title="Man shrugging    :man_shrugging:" data-shortname=":man_shrugging:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /> For the Rell, the eye is above the nose so can see fully to both sides.Try it. Close one eye, and use the other eye to look in that direction---you'll see your nose blocking the view LOL!</blockquote>
