You are blind from birth or long enough that you are used to your condition, your other senses have greatly improved, and help you with your everyday life, you gain the following disabilities and benefits:
- You are blind and therefore suffer the blinded condition (Blinded : A blinded creature can't see and automatically fails any ability check that requires sight. Attack rolls against the creature have advantage, and the creature's Attack rolls have disadvantage)
-
But you have Blindsight in a 30 feet radius based on your heightened hearing and smelling abilities, which nullify the disadvantages and advantages on attacks of the Blinded condition within 30 feet.
-
You can without using an action make a wisdom (Perception) check to determine by sound or smell the position of allies and enemies beyond the 30 feet radius (this perception check has a DC of 10 in normal circumstances and a range of 90 feet, the DM can lower or increase the range or the DC based on the environment and how loud it is)
-
You have advantage on wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell
-
Suffering Thunder damage forces you to make a Constitution saving throw (DC equals 10 or half the damage you take, whichever number is higher) to not be deafened until your next round and you have disadvantage on Constitution saving throws involving loud sounds, or strong unpleasant odors. In addition you can't use your blindsight while deafened and unable to smell properly
