Vision
Vision is a character’s sense of seeing. Of the 5 senses, Vision is the only humanoid sense that
cannot be improved with practice; although a character may become more skillful with their sight (see
Chap. 8: Skills), their Vision does not improve. Because Vision is the only humanoid sense that cannot be
improved through practice, it is the only sense that is determined in this chapter. The remaining senses
are listed in Chapter 8: Skills because they are adaptable depending on use. Of the 5 senses, all humanoids
depend on Vision.
Roll on the table below to determine the accuracy of a character’s Vision. Undesirable Vision is
either near-sightedness or far-sightedness. Near-sightedness means that a character can see normally
when objects are near, though distant objects are blurry. Conversely, far-sightedness means that a character
can see normally when objects are distant, but has headaches when objects are near and focused upon
for any duration. Spectacles do exist, though only ones that correct far-sightedness. Regarding nearsightedness,
a character’s Vision is determined by the distance that they can distinguish between similar
heraldic coats of arms. Near-sighted characters suffer penalties regarding 4 skills: Aim, Hurl, Mounted
Archery, and Sight (see Chap. 8: Skills). Far-sightedness is the distance that a character no longer receives
headaches. Roll 1d100 and consult the following table to determine the state of a character’s Vision:
