Blinded

The character cannot see. He takes a -2 penalty to Armor Class, loses his Dexterity bonus to AC (if any), moves and attacks 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 Spot checks) automatically fail. All opponents are considered to have total concealment (50% miss chance) to the blinded character.

DDOs form of 'cannot see': The screen turns all black except portions of the GUI.

Blindness when cast by a player on a monster is a permanent effect. However it has a reduced duration when cast on players.

Blindness from most other sources besides the spells duration generally is not permanent, but rather expires after a short time. Anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes depending on the source.

Red and Purple named enemies are immune to all forms of blindness. Players can become immune by equpping a Blindness Immunity item.

Ways to cure blindness:

 * Remove Blindness spell, wand, scroll or potion
 * Heal (spell) or scroll
 * Break enchantment or Dispel Magic if the blindness was from a magical source. Caster level check required.
