[QUOTE="TiCaudata, post: 5558884, member: 40077"] [sblock=oc]I'm going to start with the blind question... There is apparently a complete lack of rules on this or FAQs or anything, I dunno if it's supposed to be so obvious that it doesn't make it into the FAQ or what. However, after looking at lots of stuff, I came to the conclusion that the gaze attack probably still does work, but that's based on a couple assumptions. 1) the gaze attack is a supernatural ability, so even though it's blocked from seeing things, the supernatural-ness of it's eyes still exists. However, since it can't see, it can't really direct it's gaze attack like normal. Some people tried to distinguish between passive and active gaze attacks, basically that passive attacks are when the player looks at the thing and gets walloped, and active is when the creature has to do something special while looking at the PC. 2) The creature can choose to "veil" their eyes and turn off the attack, this implies that it's a natural function of the eye. I guess it ties into the passive v active talk. The srd does say that if a PC has darkvision they are subject to the gaze attack when it's dark. Kinda a roundabout way of saying that just because the creature might not be able to see you, you can still see it. Paizo has a decent (and short) discussion about it. [url=http://paizo.com/paizo/messageboards/community/gaming/dnd/doesABlindedCreatureStillHaveAGazeAttack]here's the link.[/url][/sblock] Erdolliel moves in on the helpless creature.[sblock=oc]so I know that it's not helpless, but I don't think Erdolliel knows it yet, besides I think she'll lose the ability to Sneak Attack if she averted eyes, even if it's blind. Drop the wand and move S, SE, SE while drawing her sword. [s]Tumble (+15) while moving through threatened squares to avoid AoOs.[/s] ummm, it's blind it can't make AoOs (but I want her to tumble if I'm wrong :).) Then attack the creature +9 1d8+3 +4d6. Dodge still on O, [s]Mobility if the tumble fails, which I think it can't...[/s][/sblock] [/QUOTE]
