I think Arrow of Darkness can be included in this list Gur (talk) 17:20, 28 February 2024 (CET)Reply

Darkness is already in the source list, and we don't list all the sources of that here. Capranaut (talk) 05:24, 11 June 2026 (CEST)Reply

Zanner Toobin has Blind (condition)[edit section]

Zanner Toobin has a unique condition called BLIND (using BLINDED) within the same BLINDED stackID. status=LOW_STEELWATCHFROUNDRY_BLINDED_NOIDLE

I think this warrants BLIND its own entry (like the unique condition BLINDNESS) but unlike several other unique status conditions that all use an identical tooltip for Blinded: 1. BLINDED 2. BLINDED_DARKNESS 3. VOID_BLINDED 4. MAG_LATHANDERS_LIGHT_BLINDED FuriousTortoise (talk) 01:25, 10 June 2026 (CEST)Reply

I took a cursory look:
  • BLINDED_DARKNESS https://bg3.norbyte.dev/search?q=BLINDED_DARKNESS+type:status
    • appears to be truly identical to BLINDED https://bg3.norbyte.dev/search?q=BLINDED+type:status
  • VOID_BLINDED https://bg3.norbyte.dev/search?q=VOID_BLINDED+type:status
    • adds DisableCombatlog to the property flags
  • MAG_LATHANDERS_LIGHT_BLINDED https://bg3.norbyte.dev/search?q=MAG_LATHANDERS_LIGHT_BLINDED+type:status
    • sets the tick type to StartTurn
  • LOW_STEELWATCHFROUNDRY_BLINDED_NOIDLE https://bg3.norbyte.dev/search?q=LOW_STEELWATCHFROUNDRY_BLINDED_NOIDLE+type:status
    • renames itself to 'Blind'
    • clears the status groups
    • adds IgnoreResting, IgnoredByImmobilized, and ApplyToDead to the property flags
    • clears the animation

I think it makes sense to create a Blind (Condition) page for LOW_STEELWATCHFROUNDRY_BLINDED_NOIDLE. I'm a little reluctant to create a full new page for BLINDED_DARKNESS given how cluttered the Blind disambiguation page already is. There's an argument to modify the template so we can list both UIDs, or to just list BLINDED, but add a note on Blinded (Condition) and Void describing the nuance. VOID_BLINDED and MAG_LATHANDERS_LIGHT_BLINDED sit somewhere in between. If you decide to create pages for those two, it's not that much of a stretch to just make one for all four. Just make sure to update the pages that currently reference blinded to make sure they're talking about the correct one (or the status group if that's what they're actually talking about). There are a lot of them unfortunately. Capranaut (talk) 05:20, 11 June 2026 (CEST)Reply
Agreed. I was only considering adding Blind (Condition) (Toobin's unique status condition). The others (from my list) are so close to Blinded (Condition) you wouldn't even know unless looking at their metadata. Plus, they're all in the BLINDED https://bg3.norbyte.dev/search?q=BLINDED+type:status stack unlike BLINDNESS https://bg3.norbyte.dev/search?q=BLINDNESS+type:status. I haven't made a new page on here before but I can attempt it. And I'll be sure to update links appropriately :) FuriousTortoise (talk) 05:37, 11 June 2026 (CEST)Reply
