[QUOTE="TuDogz, post: 1081059, member: 9889"] ______________ So, in effect, all attackers attack a blind person AS IF THEY WERE FLANKING for the purpose of the +2 to hit and sneak attacks. ______________ The problem I have with this is that if it doesn't stack to a +4 a blind man fighting one person is no worse off than a blind man fighting two flanking attackers. That doesn't make sense. The function of the flanking bonus is to emulate the difficulty of defending in two opposite directions. The blind man still has this problem when flanked. He is just extra screwed by his blindness. Let's face it. It is bad to be blind. Eyes are very useful tools that it is very bad to be without unless you are a creature built to not need them. Properly built, a blind character could be effective but without exactly the right skills and feats you should be as easy to beat as... well... a blind man. [/QUOTE]
