Permanent Blindness

You were born blind or blinded years ago. As a result, you have specific advantages and disadvantages that are unique to your condition.

• Automatically fail any ability check that relies on sight, but can use Io's Aura to attempt the check at disadvantage.
• Advantage on perception checks that rely on smell or hearing
• If a creature's stealth beats your passive perception, you are unable to detect them via hearing. You can perform a perception check (one action) to detect their presence via hearing, with advantage.
• You are immune to the blinded condition
• Persistent loud noises may interfere with your perception and prevent you from hearing a creature regardless of stealthiness. In such cases, you can perform a perception check at disadvantage to try to detect them, whereas any creatures who are not blind automatically fail any attempts to hear you or other creatures in the noisy area.
