#17976, "The myopic flaw"


          

I was thinking how cool it would be if this flaw were negated by wearing any of the assorted eyeglasses scattered around Thera. Any thoughts?

Glasses aren't 100% effective. But they can partially negate such flaw in a person, though. The main question is still: Would such glasses make the myopic flaw worth less as a pick? Probably yes, though I like the idea of wearing glasses to overcome the flaw. Reading glasses, however, shouldn't work.

Wearing some glasses should give you the myopic flaw in a temporary format. They're not your prescription damnit!

Add a small chance of the glasses being broken for skills like headbutt, cranial, etc etc. I think it would add a fair amount of realism, where myopia is concerned.
