There's a swordsman who is blind. He is a physical adept, and
has bought the astral perception physad power. He has been blind
all his life (born without eyes) and has had astral perception since
it was possible (12 years according to some; fair enough.).
A few points:
Unarmed combat/armed combat is clearly purely physical activity,
and gets a +2 vision penalty. (right?)
What if he used a weapon focus?
Would there be another way to reduce the vision penalty? Would a
GM's call (and cost) to say it is reasonable be fair? And if so, to
what extent? Other physad powers?
(What I'm saying is, I like the idea but currently it looks hugely
impractical. Magebait, and so on. Suggested changes?)
