Way of the Blind Fist [General, Fighter] Grants Blindsight to those who otherwise couldn't see, and allows you to hone the ability to use it.Prerequisites: Permanent blindness, whether through a spell, incident, or birth; Wisdom 16 Benefits: This is a combat feat that scales with your Base Attack Bonus.

• +0: Your other senses have heightened due to your loss of your sight, granting you the ability to perceive your immediate surroundings as if you could see. Gain Blindsight out to 60 feet.
• +1: You can easily detect ranged attacks before they hit you. You may make a Reflex saving throw against any ranged attack that passes within 30 feet of you. If you succeed a save DC equal to the enemy's attack roll, you may deflect the ranged attack.
• +6: Due to your superior battlefield awareness in melee combat, you cannot be flanked or caught flat-footed. Any time you would be considered flanked or flat-footed, you gain a dodge bonus to armor class equal to your wisdom modifier, which stacks with other dodge bonuses.
• +11: Any time you deflect a ranged attack, you may roll a separate attack roll against the AC of the enemy that made the attack. If you beat their armor class, the attack is reflected back at the attacker. A critical hit on this reflecting attack roll causes the attack to deal double damage, instead of the critical multiplier of the weapon; treating it as an improvised weapon, without the penalty to the attack roll.
• +16: When you land a critical hit with your reflecting attack, the crit now uses the critical multiplier of the weapon you used to reflect the attack. If the weapon you used has a x2 multiplier already, it is treated as having a x3 multiplier for the reflecting critical hit. You now only have to beat a Reflex save DC of 1/2 of the enemy's attack roll to deflect any projectile.
