Blind is a status effect which causes the victim to treat the player and all other creatures as if they were invisible, whether or not they actually are. See invisible is rendered useless for the duration of the effect, but sense invisible is not. In general, the effect of blindness is pretty trivial; as many invisi-stabbers discover to their chagrin, intelligent monsters that are already aware of you are reasonably capable of finding invisible players. Blinding does, however, prevent monsters from using most ranged abilities effectively, and less intelligent creatures are more significantly disabled.
This condition can only affect monsters; there is currently no equivalent to blindness for players. You can blind monsters in the following ways:
- Hitting monsters with Dazzling Spray may temporarily blind them.
- A possible effect of Zin's Recite ability is to inflict permanent blindness on a monster.
History
During the brief period in which jesters existed, you could also temporarily blind monsters by hitting them with pies.
