Blindsight.

Unread post by izzul »

I casted Blindsight and fought the displacers.

it seems that even with blindsight spell casted on my PC, they are evading the attacks and have concealment 50%.

wasnt it suppose to act like a blind fight where enemies concealment is not valid when we have blindsight on us?

same like fighting shadows, if we have blind sight or feat blind fight, we will attack shadows same as we attack other normal creatures?

Blind sight only works as a see invisibility spell that also can see through magical darkness, as per the darkness spell, nothing more. Not even sure it sees through the darkness spell either tbh.

Darkness is so buggy it hurts. Blindsight probably doesn't negate the concealment - NWN1 scripts didn't get modified much when they came over to NWN2.

Most methods of concealment can't be avoided by a spell cast on yourself. This includes Displacement and Greater Invisibility. The engine doesn't allow us to modify your miss chance in that way... only the feat "Blind Fight" works to reduce it by half, effectively.

yes we tested it while fighting the Duergar clerics.

casted blindsight to my PC and im the only one that can hit the invisible,ethereal,or concealed duergar

though it does not work for the displacers. might be hard for those noobies to play without any way to penetrate them else using feat blind fight.
