04-26-05, 10:36 PM blindsense = you know where they are within that area (can pinpoint square) but you suffer a 50% miss chance because while you know where they are you can't pinpoint them.

blindsight = you can see them no matter what, so within the area you know where they are, can see them doing whatever it is they are doing, and suffer no miss chance. You can hit them regularly.

04-26-05, 10:58 PM With any of them, can I still be flanked?

And can I "see" through walls with it? I mean, can I know that someone is hiding in the corner?

See ya!

04-28-05, 11:47 AM Flanking has nothing to do with seeing or not seeing your opponent. So, yes, you can still be flanked.

Blindsense/sight are still "visual" abilities and does not give you the ability to see through things that block sight (i.e. line of sight still applies).
