Limited blindness?

[TauanVictor]

If a character can blind another through light, does it count as some HAX, even if it's "Limited"?​

And if the character resists the blinding ability of light, does it count as light resistance?

 

[Confluctor]

I think paralysis inducement. Not limited tho

 

[Berhann]

By light do you mean by projecting tons of light or stopping light from reaching his eyes?

I mean, yeah, kinda?

​

Depend of how the context of the resistance was made, if it was something like ''This creature resist light spells'' then yeah, but most of times, no.

i think he means something like this

 

[Berhann]

I dont think it's hax since the character just projects a ton of light and the blinding part is just a biological process, just like how you kinda get blind when you look at sun directly too long

thats kinda of hax, as it negates durability in some way

 

[Shmooply]

Ehhhh...
I'd just classify it as light manipulation, and maybe write that it's so bright that it can blind people.

It will be Light manipulation, status effect inducement and paralysis inducement

 

[Shmooply]

Yea, status effect inducement could maybe work as well, depending on the context of course.

 

[TauanVictor]

If you need context, it's just an attack where the character releases a burst of light strong enough to blind another character.

And if he resists, does it count as resistance to paralysis or something?

Does blinding someone count as paralysing them? Technically it's just the vision that is getting impaired and any resulting lack of action would be the result of disorientation. The ability to move itself shouldn't be impaired by that. The Paralysis Inducement page certainly doesn't seem to consider Light Manipulation as a possible reason for paralysis.

I also found this strange. A blind man can move, it shouldn't count as paralysis I think.

No.

No, it's just light manipulation. The blinding process is an after effect not directly caused by the ability. The blinding bit would simply be listed as something the character uses their light to do.

And if the character resists the blinding ability of light, does it count as light resistance?

It would be a resistance to status effect inducement as the user can resist turning blind rather than the actual light itself.

No.

Does this answer your question?

More context?

 

[MonkeyOfLife]

Blinding someone with light isn't hax but how the character gets blinded is

If you can close your eyes you are just covering your eyes to not get blinded same way you can block fire with some random object... If someone uses light manipulation that blinds people and someone can directly look at the light and not feeling anything, it would be limited resistance to light manipulation

 

[TauanVictor]

Now I get it.

Blinding someone through mundane ways such as light intensity, obstructing someone's sight or throwing dirt, is not real hax.

If someone is not affected by light intensity then it may have resisatnce, or it may have enhanced senses (like, automatically adapt one's sight to environmental luminosity), it depends.
