06-15-07, 02:04 PM Okay, I was thinking of making a character that didn't solely rely on his eyes to see, granting him the Blindsight Feat from Deities and Demigods. Problem I ran into was the short range. I was wondering if anyone knew of any feat that I could take that would allow it to operate at a larger range?

No, the character is not a blind character, so don't worry about that.

Headband of true darkness is blindsight 60, 9000gp, but while wearing it, you are actually blind. (A&EG)

It's actually blindsight 30'.

The blindfold of true darkness has a range of 60' for blindsight as described on page 130 of the A&E.

The Blindfold of True Darkness has been updated in the Magic Item Compendium with a range of 30 feet.

And the blindsight spell has also been updated in the Spell Compendium, with a range of 30 feet as well, but there is a greater blindsight spell with a range of 60 feet.

Thanks for the correction I'm still figuring out how much of the MIC is useful. I could understand it having a range of 30' if the blindsight spell was used to make the item; but see invisibility is used with and it has a range of your vision.

Well, that's the beauty of D&D. It is totally your call on what is useful.:D

06-19-07, 09:48 AM You might want to try looking through some of the Blindsight references in the Lists of Stuff (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=662842)... You might also want to check out some of the Tremorsense sources as well, since that's a pretty cool ability also. And there's also the Hear the Unseen feat from CAdv.. It's not as cool as Blindsight, but is pretty decent.
