Blind

Blind is a status effect that impairs a character's vision. A character may become blind if hit in the eyes with bashing damage more that 5 points and any cutting damage at the same time. The duration of the blindness is based on amount of total damage, but limited at 1 turn in its minimum and 5 turns in its maximum. Blindness can be infected by teleglow.

Blindness will be infected through the eyes for 10 turns when a character stands in a cloud of tear gas or thick tear gas. The strength of the effect is 4 and 6, respectively, in this case. The effect can be gained when a flashbang detonates in 8-square radius or nearer in sight of the character. The strength and duration of the effect in this case depend on the distance ( [12 - distance] / 2 and 10 - distance).

While blind, a character loses the ability to specify items upon moving on a new square. Blind characters will bump into non-walkable obstacles, losing 100 movement points. Character will not be able auto-open doors (BUMP!) or Chat with NPCs (Who is there? I can't see anybody.)

Blindness can be cured with royal jelly.
