How best to capitalize on blind fighting?


Advice


Obscuring mist, cast by a Gish. That's all I have so far... I think the feat has merits though, like for defending oneself against things you can't see. Anyone got tactics for blind fight worth building a character around?


Moonlight Stalker is a great feat if you had your heart set on taking Blind Fighting anyway.


OK. How about ways to use blind fighting against foes with dark vision?

An Eversmoking Bottle. Your only problem will be Ifrits who have the Firesight feat.


I have a PFS character with Keen Scent, Blind Fighting, and an Eversmoking Bottle. The problem is most of the rest of the players don't have see-while-blind techniques sorted out, and they usually resent it when I open the bottle, even when the situation is called for. But if the whole party is on board, it is a devastating tactic.

Eversmoking Bottles are made with the Pyrotechnics Spell. Pyrotechnics is a very good choice, too.

Some of the oracle mysteries also have vision which penetrates smoke.

It is possible to use smoke and a level of oracle of flame to make a rogue (or vivisectionist) who can make multiple sneak attacks in one round, but I've only theory-crafted the idea.

Have your eyes damaged beyond use and carry a cane-katana.

Something about this idea screams ninja to me and instantly made me think of

If someone could make a good build of this idea I'd be interested to see it.


This is a tactic I love useing with a Magus.

You take
Blind fight
Combat Expertise
Moonlight Stalker.

One of your first spells (or have a faerie dragon familiar cast it from a wand)

Use obscuring mist or blur etc.
Go to town in a Monstrous Physique form that allows for multiple attacks, getting +2 to hit and damage on everything

Shadow Lodge

Probably helps you use the Clouded Vision Oracle Curse, since now you still can use ranged weapons [sorta].
