A '''blinded''' [[character]] is unable to see. Attacks made while blind have a 50% [[miss chance]] and a -4 [[penalty]] to [[hit]]. [[Spell]]s that require targeting others cannot be cast as a direct line of sight is required for this. The game's AI handles blindness poorly, and blinded entities controlled by the AI will not attack at all.

==Gameplay Notes==
Oddly enough, in NWN2 (as in NWN1), a character suffering from this condition can still use (i.e., read) magical scrolls.

Also note that the effect does not stack with concealment.

==[[DnD 3.5]] Comparison==
A blinded character takes a -2 [[penalty]] to [[Armor Class]], loses his [[Dexterity]] bonus to AC (if any), moves at half [[speed]], and takes a -4 [[penalty]] on [[Search]] [[check]]s and on most [[Strength]]- and [[Dexterity]]-based [[skill check]]s. All [[check]]s and activities that rely on vision (such as reading and [[Spot]] [[check]]s) automatically fail. All opponents are considered to have total [[concealment]] (50% miss chance) relative to the blinded [[character]].
