Blind masters are monks who have lost their eyesight in one way or another. Because of this, they are able to shift their focus toward the entirety of the multiverse rather than what is perceivable. This gives them powers that most do not possess, including how to harness the untapped energy of the spirit. To face a blind master in combat is to test one's limits, for even experienced warriors can only hope to land a hit against such a foe. Monastic Prestige. Blind masters hold themselves to the strictest of standards when it comes to social conduct and discipline. Because of this, they often rise high in the authority system of a monastery, and sometimes even lead a monastic society's training and worship. Because there is so much power associated with becoming a blind master, having a blind master as a leader is often a sign of great skill and prestige in a group of monastic communities. The Element of Surprise. While some may lead a monastery, many blind masters travel about, learning about the multiverse. Many of these travelers encounter bandits or other threats. However, these are easily dealt with. One of the most fatal mistakes to make with a blind master is assuming incompetence, for while one may be blind, they are far from senseless. A blind master's awareness can easily catch one off guard, especially if one has no knowledge of such an opponent. This fact gives blind masters a heavy advantage in combat and out. |
