Sightless

As a Sightless, you are blind by either a curse, traumatic event, or birth. Your other senses are granted a boost to accommodate the loss of sight. You are given advantage on Perception (Wisdom) Checks that involve hearing, smells, and taste. Tremorsense 60 ft., Blindsight 15 ft. are the ways you make it through the world. (You may have to add these features on the Character's Sheet.)

Skill Proficiencies: Animal Handling. Every Sightless creature gain a proficiency in taming animals to be their "eyes".
Athletics. Your stamina and strength are boosted from a hard life of self defense.
Insight. Your ability to read others is usually never wrong. You can feel their heartbeat from your tremorsense, a good indicator of lying.
Perception. As a Sightless, you can use your tremorsense to usually get a good feel for things most others miss.
Stealth. Being quiet helps you to hear things and sense your surroundings like a natural.

Equipment: All Sightless start their adventures with an Explorer's Pack, staff, dagger, and 50gp; or a staff and 100gp.

Contacts

Being Sightless, others are usually willing to help you with supplies, directions, guidance, rations, and even lodging. Some NPCs might even come to your aid to help defend you, so long as they don't see you as violent or untrustworthy.
