[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 7019024, member: 5834"] That it limits offsetting penalties in a strange way in some cases like making it easier to hit in places of darkness if both participants are affected by it when the advantage benefit of hitting a blinded target it canceled by the disadvantage of not being able to see creating a flat roll with all bonuses. It's a very goofy way to run the situation where it somehow becomes easier to hit if both targets can't see. That doesn't at all mirror the reality of two blind people swinging at each other. The other weakness is the strange way it stacks and offsets. Once you have it, that's it. Just as no matter how many advantage situations you have from a special ability, prone, restrained, and the like all add up to advantage or vice versa. There have been many times when gaining advantage leaves my players bored because they have no other special abilities or situations to use. Many times it's been like, "We got advantage. No one else needs to do anything but launch an attack." It become a bit boring when that is the limit of your tactical options. [/QUOTE]
