It could be the ability to fight effectively while still mostly covering your eyes with a shield, your arm, a cloak, whatever. It could be the ability to look at your opponents feet and intuit his moves as opposed to looking up.Actually, your first one here is a reasonable interpretation.Not necessarily. Have you ever had an eye doctor dilate your eyes?They tell you that you are not supposed to drive when that happens. But, you can drive, you just have to be extremely cautious. You glance up into the bright light every few seconds, evaluate the situation, and then glance away at less brightly lit areas.This is more of a mode of operating as opposed to a resistance to the light.If you have a good stamina and are in good shape, I can understand being resistant to disease or poison or even physical pain. I cannot understand being resistant to bright light (or loud sounds or any other sense stimulus).In fact, a Will save makes more sense than a Fort save. The ability to mentally overcome your bodies natural reaction to avoid looking at the bright light, regardless of the pain and discomfort.Sound Burst, btw, uses a Will save. Maybe that is a better solution (although I like the Reflex save round one, dazzled after that solution best, but changing that to Will save round one would be fine).</blockquote>
