Blindfolded Vision: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

The self-imposed version of being a [[Blind Seer]]. A sighted character who has [[Title Drop|Blindfolded Vision]] can see just as well, [[Your Eyes Can Deceive You|if not]] ''[[Your Eyes Can Deceive You|better]]'' than if they weren't blindfolded. The reasons for this vary, a [[Mentor]] teaching their student that [[Your Eyes Can Deceive You]] may take it to the next level, [[Invoked Trope|invoking]] [[Disability Superpower]] and complementing it with [[Charles Atlas Superpower|Charles Atlas training]] to grant [[Super Senses]], freeing the student from the tyranny of sight. Another possibility is the character's [[Psychic Powers]] and [[Third Eye]] are enhanced with [[Blind Seer|sensory]] [[By the Eyes of the Blind|deprivation]], or the blindfold is itself a [[Ring of Power|powerful]] [[Amplifier Artifact|artifact]] that confers [[Aura Vision|sight]] [[Crystal Ball|beyond sight]] a la [[X-Ray Vision]].

** Also, there is a feat/skill for warriors that allows them to fight blindfolded at half the penalties they would normally suffer. It doesn't seem like an advantage at first, but to put it another way, in total darkness, a fighter with this feat would be a ''lot'' deadlier than those without it.

* [[Exalted|The Perfection of the Visionary Warrior]]. With this ultimate technique in melee combat, the Sidereal wraps a prayer strip around his eyes, which begin to bleed under the magic of the blindfold. The character takes damage and loses physical sight, but he is now able to ''see the immediate future'' of the battlefield. This allows him to defend against attacks that have not happened yet and attack during opponents' future openings.
