[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 6410201, member: 58197"] Snarky, but appropriate. There seem to be an awful lot of people saying the proper response is to just sort of deal with it, without indicating how. I still think the proper approach, if none of your fellow PCs can assist you, is to look for a solution in-game (locate somebody with [i]goggles of night[/i] or some other source of darkvision, and obtain them by fair means or foul). If that doesn't seem to be working, have a quiet chat with the DM about the problem. It sounds like there was a miscommunication about what the campaign was going to involve; it's not unreasonable to ask to be allowed to tweak your character design a bit. Since you're coming up on a new feat slot, another alternative would be to propose a homebrewed feat, something like this: [i][b]Blind Master:[/b] You are experienced at operating without vision. [list][*]Being unable to see an opponent does not give that opponent advantage to hit you. [*]You can sense the location of any creature within 10 feet of you, and being unable to see such creatures does not impose disadvantage on your attacks. [*]As an action, you can focus all your attention on your non-visual senses, granting you blindsight within a 60-foot radius until the start of your next turn. If you are a rogue, you can use this ability with Cunning Action.[/list][/i] [/QUOTE]
