BLIND / BLINDED

Here are the definitive penalties and conditions for humans being blinded or fighting in absolute darkness without optical systems to see.

Penalties:-

• Normal combat bonuses do not count, only natural rolls, minus the penalties.
• -10 Strike, Parry, Dodge, Disarm, Pull Punch, and similar combat moves.
• Speed reduced by 30-50% (or should be) as character is unsure as to their surroundings and may trip and fall (losing one melee attack/action and losing Initiative), or run into a wall or such (1D6 S.D,.C., 3D6 S.D.C. if running).
• Any skill requiring vision are impossible.
• Attacks per melee are unchanged, but the character is lashing out gussing where a target is and may strike a friendly or innocent bystander.
