Description
Blindness resistance prevents protects a hero or monster from light-related sources of blindness:[1]
- The blinding explosion attack of a yellow light
- The blinding gaze attack of an Archon
- The flash of an expensive camera
The property can only be obtained via the following sources:[2]
- Being unconscious, blinded or asleep, or being an eyeless monster[3]
- Being a monster that has a blinding explosion attack (i.e. a yellow light)[4]
- Being a monster that has a blinding gaze attack (i.e. an Archon)[5]
- Wielding Sunsword[6][7]
Astral vision from The Eyes of the Overworld does not confer blindness resistance, but circumvents the effects of blindness.
Variants
dNetHack
In dNetHack, notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack, blindness resistance can be obtained from several other sources:
- Wielding any of the Artifacts of the Empyrial Lords
- Invoking The Shield of the All-Seeing
A hero is completely immune to blindness while the spirit Dantalion is bound, but only if they are not wearing a shirt, suit or cloak that covers the extra faces on their body.
