Blind character build

[OldSkoolGamer]

So I am looking to build a different type of character than I normally build. The concept is a blind sword wielder in which her ability to not see is not an hindrance.

Ive looked throught the Feats and Blind Fight doesnt appear to do what I need it to do. Also I didnt see anything in the Traits that would work either.

Is there any advice out there that could help in building this character. Thanks in advance!

1 level Oracle, Oracle curse of cloudy vision.

Also consider swordmaster's blindfold.

OldSkoolGamer,

What is Blind Fighting lacking?

I favor a combination of Scent and Blind Fighting.

Tremorsense and Blindfighting works well, too.

Greater Blindfighting + Tremorsense and/or Scent would undoubtedly be even better.

There is a Level 3 Alchemal Extract called Touchsight that probably does the trick quite nicely.

Once you find the recipe for your special sauce, then get an Eversmoking Bottle, take the Moonlight Stalker and Nightmare Fist feats, then cry "Havoc!"

Subject to your dm, the penalties for blindness are alleviated for people used to it. This worth blind fight, gives immunity to a lot of effects and wouldn't actually have that many cons. Make sure to max out perception.

Haven't thought of the Oracle class, will look into it although Im not wanting her to be a spellcaster.

I've looked at Tremorsense and do like it although I think that'll have to be GM sold/approval. In looking at Sense that really looks as if it will work.

Blind Fight I think might work in rereading it. I'm not wanting her not being able to see as a hindrance, more like all her other senses have increased or maybe even her body created another sense(i.e. enhanced perception) to make up for the loss of sight.

In a fantasy setting you might be able to pick up some kind of extra sensory perception, but being blind in real life, I can tell you that doesn't happen. AKA Magic will do wonders. By the time you reach 5th level you can fix your blindness anyways. Enjoy the concept you have worked out either way.
