@ChrisPerkinsDnD How would I go about playing a blind character?

Easy. Just say your character is blinded (for game effects, see the blinded condition in appendix A of the Player's Handbook). #WOTCstaff https://t.co/epzTiA4YWn

@ChrisPerkinsDnD Could @Bar_nez use Clairvoyance/Scrying/True Seeing/beasts/familiars/etc. to elim combat disadvant? Blind seer stories rule

A blind character who can see thru another creature's eyes or thru a magical sensor can get around the drawbacks of blindness. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/v6rsNEPsMv

Interest in playing blind D&D characters has soared since Rogue One came out. https://t.co/E2UoUezilp

Recently had to adjudicate this which relates to the above. I have a sorceror that had cast mirror image. In order to negate a 1 in 4 failure, a barbarian decided to rage and then close his eyes to attack, effectively fighting blind. This gave disadvantage due to the blindness, advantage due to the rage and then proceeded to attempt to hit the sorceror. Would you still apply the mirror image D20 check in these circumstances? I feel like I’m missing something….
