PSA: BLIND CHARACTERS CAN BE MORE THAN MONKS!

"Blind" doesn't mean complete lack of sight but it does mean glasses/operations cannot improve it. This is why those wearing glasses that correct their vision to better than 20/200 are not considered blind or visually 1/4
impaired (VI). Those of us who are legally blind (20/200 or worse OR have the absence of sight to some degree) can be in 1 or both eyes. The lack of sight in one of my eyes & worsening vision in my "good eye" is what makes me a blind person.

And yet...here I am, making art. 2/4
We have so many examples in our history of blind/VI bards (singers, actors, composers, etc.), fighters (athletes, including those on our National & Olympic teams), artificers (inventors & tradesmen), so on & so forth! And amazingly, they don't all have sighted companions. 3/4
