So... The spell Pyrotechnics has two listed effects which you pick one or the other when casting the spell as follows:
Fireworks: The fireworks are a flashing, fiery, momentary burst of glowing, colored aerial lights. This effect causes creatures within 120 feet of the fire source to become blinded for 1d4+1 rounds (Will negates). These creatures must have line of sight to the fire to be affected. Spell resistance can prevent blindness.
Smoke Cloud: A stream of smoke billows out from the fire, forming a choking cloud that spreads 20 feet in all directions and lasts for 1 round per caster level. All sight, even darkvision, is ineffective in or through the cloud. All within the cloud take -4 penalties to Strength and Dexterity (Fortitude negates). These effects last for 1d4+1 rounds after the cloud dissipates or after the creature leaves the area of the cloud. Spell resistance does not apply.
Now the question is, does the smoke cloud specifically confer the 'blind' condition like the Fireworks effect states, or is it just a blind-like effect?
The reason for clarification needed is: Does a creature suffer the penalties of being subject to the blind condition when inside the smoke cloud even though it does not state that the cloud causes the target to become blind?
