[QUOTE="Majin, post: 1845916, member: 13265"] OoC: Yes thats what you would see, visually, but your character does not [i]know[/i] for sure the physiology of such a creature. If she has not studied grimlocks (given for example the chance of knowing by Mimic's knowledge roll), then she would not know one way or the other whether this type of creature even [i]needs[/i] eyes to see, so it is dangerous to assume and make judgements like that which could very well get you or the party as a whole into trouble. If you want to take it a step further which is really not necessary but for the sake of arguement, given the artist's rendition of the creature, its eye sockets are not empty, it just does not have any visible pupils, which is still no indication that it cannot see. Any monster could have such features but since they are not all the same, anything is possible. Anyway, just another little bit of advice. Don't assume anything. Don't even assume the color of a goblin, because again, anything is possible, and you can bet if I change something that isn't the norm in the MM, that most likely I have my reasons. ;) [/QUOTE]
