#44877, "Truesight, really?"


          

I get that truesight cures 'blindness' be it cast or communed but why the hell does it cure blindness from your own blood in your eyes?!

This just seems out of whack as I am pretty sure it doesn't work on eyejab, which is swelling of your eye causing the sight to be impaired.

Snippet of Jastyna log.

A falcon pecks at your eyes, filling them with blood.
Someone's pecking beak injures you.
You yell 'Help! Someone is pecking me!'
Someone's claw maims you!
Someone's claw devastates you!
Someone quickly leaps away from your cleave.
Someone flows to one side as your cleave passes.
Someone has a few scratches.

Or maybe standing to your right before the granite cleft?'

And it's just one more way for villagers to screw them over since everyone else just does a flee teleport? Just saying, it's a possibility.

I honestly never knew truesight cured that, since I thought it functioned like dirt kicking, i.e. physical blindess is not curable via truesight.

Though I don't think truesight curing blindess via peck is really a big deal considering while the battlerager uses a command to do it the shifter is just going to flyto and do it again anyway.

Truesight cures all forms of the "blindness" ability, communed, spell, physical effect, in my experiences. However, it isn't 100% on every calling and is a round of lag at least.
