Disable traps whith blind-fight.

[vojciechowski]

hello everyone,
I would like help with a question, a conceal trap in an area of magical darkness can be disarmed ?
Another question, if it can be disarmed a feat Blind-Fight can be used for this purpose?

[Azothath]

A character can use Disable Device skill in darkness, there may be circumstance modifiers, see Blinded condition.
Blind-Fight feat (Cmbt) is about attack, not skill checks. In melee, every time you miss because of concealment... A Home GM could (GM caveat) lessen those circumstance modifiers due to this feat.

be aware that there are varying illumination levels [Su dark, dark, dim, normal, bright, Su bright] {usual human centric rules} Each has various sight based modifiers. Magical effects have a limited area of effect(AoE) based on the spell description. So it is ambient lighting then ambient + magical in the AoE.
Environment: Darkness

Like Azothath said, you can disable a trap without Blind-Fight. You will likely have a –4 penalty to do so. If for some reason it required sight to do so it would fail. So, if you had to read something that appeared on the side or press a series of panels that popped out in some order. Basically, if you can't do it by touch.

The only thing Blind-Fight might help you with is if the disarming action somehow involved a melee type attack or strike. Like if the disable attempt involved swinging a 10-foot pole at a tripwire or part of the device or trigger mechanism. Then you might get a reroll from Blind-Fight.
