D&D 5E What solution for blind character ?

[Herobizkit]

You won't be disappointed with Bard. 5e has made the Bard a top-tier class with tons of flexibility and flavour. Also, musical casting is always nifty.

 

[Hand of Evil]

Always have a listed a backup musical instrument or way to cast spells, like mouth organ, spoons or throat wattles, etc. Just something to use when the primary instrument is not available.

Maybe it's just me, but if a DM did that to me and told me the only solution was to accept a multi-class situation that I didn't ask for, I'd be done with that campaign. I'm all for a challenge, but I hate to be f... messed with.

it is the price of failure in the group. Concequence many bad decisions and a lot of bad luck .

Infiltrate the base of a great criminal slaver is not always without risk...

This reminds me of something that happened in my first group. I was DM. The party cleric had managed to get himself blinded by a carnivorous ape, as a combination of a grapple, some bad luck, and a custom critical chart. I wasn't terribly concerned because I remembered he'd gotten an item not too long ago that could fix him up, though I didn't remember what it was. After combat they started searching their character sheets for a fix, and there it was, a scroll. Unfortunately he was the only one with the ability to use it, before he was injured that is. Even though he found someone who could cure him right after that adventure, he forever had " ... the blind" appended to his name, mainly because another party member hired a bard to write the story into song and spread it around.
