Virtues of Blind-Fight

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 16

Blind-Fight is a pretty underrated feat, but if one of my martials has a spare feat slot, I definitely like picking it up (especially as it has no prereqs).

I used to overlook the feat because of its name. It felt like it's meant for fighting in total darkness, and how often does that come up? But really, it combats all concealment, invisibility, and being blinded yourself.

Rolling twice on miss percentile because of concealment is great against staple spells such as blur, displacement, invisibility, and mirror image.

Mirror Images doesn't grant concealment? True. But instead of going with 1/7, 1/6, 1/5 odds to hit on your attack routine, you could just close your eyes and treat them as having total concealment, ignoring their images entirely, for 3/4, 3/4, 3/4 odds. It won't wear down images, but you might be able to put down that slippery mage/ninja without even needing to worry about the images at all.

The Exchange

I love the feat. Others in its chain are underwhelming though. My melee characters almost always take it eventually,

Not being flat footed against an invisible opponent is nice.

Scarab Sages

I love the feat, and the one later in the chain are even better. I just wish it were easier to get greater before 15th level.


cast obscuring mist, darkness, silent image(to create darkness)
instant viablility.
why i try to grab the darkness domain, when concept allows, or failing travel/trickery/growth/liberation.
