[PFS] Naturally blind character question


Pathfinder Society


If a PC is naturally blind, are they immune to curses and such that cause blindness? Or does the spell/condition remain in effect while doing nothing? Obviously, there's no additional affect for being blind twice, but PFS requires characters to remove conditions, like curses, by the end of the session. So wondering if, for PFS, the curse still functions in that the PC must still remove it before the end of the session...? I'm not sure if the intention of such PFS encounters is intended to be balanced by this sort of requirement.

Are you playing a worshipper of Vildeis?

Considering that I can't recall a single situation where an NPC would bling someone (or could bling someone depending on the effect) this will likely never come up.

That said while there is a lot of potentials when playing a character like this (ideally supported with every option you can get) try to warn your GM ahead of time and show him the rules text of everything you are using.

What you can sense, and what you can't and to what degree might be critical for the scenario.


Hasn't come up for me, having a character with both natural blindness and acquiring it from a spell.

I did run a 1st level half-orc barbarian that got hit with Blindness in his first session (Zon Kuthon cleric, darkness domain). Really nasty 1st level encounter, but a reasonable encounter for the party. And my PC was dealing like 25 damage per swing, so I'd didn't really have room to complain about it being unbalanced...still killed that cleric, just took more tries. We had fun.

So you're just asking a hypothetical?
