Blindness describes the complete physical lack of light perception, a circumstance resulting from magical or chemical inducement, injury to the eyes, a bestowed curse or the result of disease. Characters plunged into complete darkness are also blind, though this is an outward effect.

Usually, blindness is overcome over time, with the spell cure blindness (which can also cause blindness) or through the use of restoration. Curses, on the other hand, must be removed through making amends, though sometimes a remove curse will suffice. However, circumstances could arise that makes it impossible to obtain these remedies, so that a character might have to live with being blind for months. Nonetheless, it is possible for a character to be effective, despite his or her blindness, and some players may even want to run a character of this kind.
