So I saw mask of a thousand tomes, and I thought, well gee that's neat. On the other hand you are blind, which is tough.
On the other hand if there are easy(-ish) ways of getting alternate vision methods, that would be just great. I was thinking something along the lines of tremor boots, just not tremor-sense, as if it flies, it does not apply.
Looking mostly for items, anything Paizo non 3.5 is good. A really strong argument for something else, like a feat will be considered, but the build is already there, y'know...
Thanks in advance.
I would go with [15 000gp] Spy Eyes; they are magical sensors that may not relate to your own sight and can be absorbed by your clothing or a headband. In fact, if this works, why not put two into your mask, roughly where your eyes would be ... This does, however, come at the cost of taking up one of your hands.
Depending on your level of comfort, if you have a (neck-warmer) Familiar, Animal Companion or Cohort you could apply a [30 000gp] Soulbound Eye.
Unfortunately the wording of the [30 000gp] Witching Doll indicates that it uses your own vision through the doll, so that is a no-go; a shame considering the fun aesthetic of a "masked, wandering outsider" arriving in settlements with a creepy doll in toe - one that people cannot help feel but is watching them, ha, ha.

Hmm I really like spy eyes. Gee now I'm torn I found between my OP and now a perfect armor quality - Sensing a +3 bonus, but whenever you are blinded you gain 60 foot blind sense, and 5 foot blind sight. The problem is I want to also put brawling on my armor, another +3 so 49,000 gold total for enchantments. The doll also sounds cool, and I'm not 100% convinced, but it's twice as expensive as spy eyes, so they would win no question. Ah, I dunno...
"Anyone holding an eye from a particular cluster of spy eyes can share the view from any other eye in the cluster as if that eye were her own"
To me that says if your own eye is blind, it won't work.

Ah yes, I could see that ruling. Thankfully, Sensing is a sure fire sucess.

What class/race/resources for you have? It makes it easier to make suggestions the more we know.
