Blind and Defense code.

Postby Kifle » Fri May 09, 2003 4:03 am

I was wondering if the spell blindness also effects the defense skills since it lowers AC. It would probably be a good idea to imp this if it already isn't for the simple fact that a blind person/thing can't dodge/pary/sblock/etc... as well when blind as it does when it can see the battlefield. Would also help melee considerably.

and blindfighting may help lessen the negatives of being blind, but mobs should not be able to defend well blinded, with blindfighting skill or not

If I remember correctly mobs used to not be able to dodge etc when blinded (or at least they had a substantial penalty to defensive skills). Now it doesn't seem tha blind does anything to defensive skills except keep mobs from switching or bashing... they still dodge like a mofo.

02/25/03 Defensive Adjustments etc.
- Blindness now has a negative affect on defensive skills.


It's directly related to their blindfighting skill. More feedback would be appreciated. :)

Maybe you should consider lowering the blindfighting cap on multiclassed mobs shev? Like pure warrior mobs having a 90 or 99 or whatever blindfighting skill is one thing, but a warrior/mage or warrior/cleric mob with max blindfighting is a real pain in the ass.


Nilan - not everyone should have blindfighting. I dont have disarm trap, but you dont hear me crying!

Yeah, maybe thats why I never noticed. I would've scanned back through the news to check for something like what Shev posted but I never noticed a drop in mob skills while blinded since the defense skill overhall.
Thanuk makes a good point though (omg). Since its linked to blindfighting, and virtually everything is warrior multiclassed, the mobs aren't getting noticably penalized.
