Hey Andy
Well if your players complain tell then that that that is what the increase
in difficulty represents. If he is partially blind he can still try to
figure out where his opponents are.
I dont suggest you do the random roll. A person who is fighting blind should
be able to fight like normal if they have some blind fighting.
But they fight with the Higher difficulty.
Another alternative is that the person rolls a Blind Fighting + wits roll at
the begining of each round. If unusuccesful he attacks in a random
direction. but still at a higher difficulty(He still might hit something.)
A person who blind fights is a person with very good sense of perception and
sensitivity. Even if he jumps to your blinded NPC the NPC might know that
his opponent is doing a jump kick.
People who have blind fighting dont randomly throw uppercuts. They
anticipate it.
but dont over play this. Most people blinded will either Run or panic
and minor Npc's I wouldnt worry about to much...They are cannon Fodder after
all.
Another thing I would do is go easy on the experiance for the blinding
character. They arnt learning anything Why should they gain experiance?
It confuses me how a move like head bite gets no Honour penalty.
As for head bite reduction in Damage...Its your choice...
I would keep it simply to find a way around it.
Imagine how your characters feel when one of there favorite moves is over
whelmed.
Hiding information from characters is usefull at times. I once had a boxer
who had Ice blast but only did it from point blank..making people think he
could only do it by touching them. They were extremlly surprised when they
found out it could be donefrom a distance.
