Blinded

The character cannot see. He takes a –2 penalty to Armor Class, loses his Dexterity bonusto AC (if any), moves at half speed, and takes a –4 penalty on Search checks and on most Strength- and Dexterity-based skill checks. All checks and activities that rely on vision(such as reading and Spot checks) automatically fail. All opponents areconsidered to have total concealment (50% miss chance) to the blinded character. Characters who remain blinded for a long time grow accustomed tothese drawbacks and can overcome some of them.
