"Blinding" item property doubt

[HallowedOne]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this but...

Does the "Blinding" property do anything else other than giving "Blinding Light" 3 times per rest? The description is a little confusing to me because generally other item properties that grant spells per rest don't also add a description on item properties list.

(Hoping that it has a chance of blinding foes on hit :P )

If you mean everbright, those weapons' special ability is to be resistant against oozes and rust monsters destructive effect on weapons and equipment.

If you really mean blinding, then, no, it just does blinding. (Like sirroco)

The greensteel 'Radiance' weapon will blind on a critical. Blinded opponents are automatically susceptible to backstab so a high crit range radiance weapon (rapier, scimitar, kukri) are a nice off-hand option for characters with good backstab damage (halflings, rogues).

He is talking about the clickie part of the everbright weapons, which is blinding flash.


I cannot tell you exactly what it does to mobs, all it does (effect) is exactly what the description says, a blinding flash.

No matter what, it is a useless clickie for the most part.

I've actually had the same question and tested the other night.
It took 3 attempts (that's 9 tries, 3 rests) to pull off, but it did indeed put a Blindness icon over the mob's head and he acted like he was blinded.

edit: oh this was with an everbright item (handwraps)

I should have mentioned that everbright, aside from what I mentioned above, has a really small chance to also blind creatures when you use the clicky. You are however better off trying to poke their eyes noodle for all the good it'll usually do you.
