Blind‐Fighting

Blind‐Fighting(Rogue or Warrior, 2)
Ability: Wisdom
Modifier: 0
A character with blind‐fighting is skilled at fighting in conditions of poor or no light. In total darkness, the character suffers only a ‐2 penalty to his attack roll. Under starlight or moonlight, the character incurs only a 1 penalty. The character suffers no penalties to his AC because of darkness. A successful proficiency check is required to use the skill in this way. Each round, the character may roll until success is achieved, in which case the character need not roll again during that battle. Furthermore, the character retains special abilities that would normally be lost in darkness, although the effectiveness of these are reduced by one‐half. This proficiency is effective only against opponents or threats within melee distance of the character. Blind‐fighting does not grant any special protection from missile fire or anything outside the immediate range of the character’s melee weapon. While moving in darkness, the character suffers only half the normal movement penalty of those without this proficiency. Furthermore, this skill aids the character when dealing with invisible creatures, reducing the attack penalties to ‐2. However, it does not enable the character to discover invisible creatures; he has only a general idea of their location and cannot target them exactly.
