[QUOTE="Dimwhit, post: 542063, member: 2576"] Maybe this has been covered, but since I can't do a search on the boards, here goes. I emailed the following to Wizards of the Coast: And here was the response I received: Obviously, very little help. So is it just me, or does this seem monumentally stupid? First, please don't say, "But the Cloak of the Bat has so many other great abilities, so it's still a great item!" Of course it does, and I know it. It's a very nice item. But why in the name of all that's holy would the allow you to polymorph into a bat with the cloak if you don't get blindsight and you're limited to 10' vision? (Picture that: flying around as a bat at 90' speed with your vision limited to 10'. That's just an accident waiting to happen.) I imagine most people house-ruled this to allow blindsight, but we don't really use house rules in our campaign, so I'm just wondering if anyone has any brilliant insights into this.
