Blinded creatures see nothing but a field of opaque gray in front of their vision. This gives them a 50% miss chance and a -4 penalty to all attack rolls and opponents will receive +2 bonus on their attack rolls against them. Furthermore, a blind creature is considered flat-footed and is unable to directly target distant creatures with spells or attacks. Additionally, there is a -4 penalty to hide, move silently, open lock, parry, pick pocket, set trap and tumble.

True seeing negates most of the effects of being blind, leaving only the 50% miss chance. Similarly, blind fighting negates the +2 bonus to attackers. Leaving only the -4 penalty to attack rolls, the -4 penalty to skills, and the inability to target creatures at a distance.

The -4 penalty to attack rolls is for attacking an unseen character. It is not applied multiple times for other instances of not being able to see the target (e.g. if the target is invisible).

Incomplete testing and having issues with the 50% miss and -4 unseen, or actually attacking when blind (like the above comments) but rare occasions do see the -4 unseen and single attacks https://imgur.com/OzIzfsF. See Invisible is also randomly effecting like True Seeing.

Partial Blindness, allows normal movement, targeting yourself or AoE's and reading scrolls. Ragimund (talk)
