Small movement penalty while under the effects of the spell? I mean, who can really run full speed while blinded/deafened like this? It would help for those cases where the victim refuses to play along with the RP effects of being blind and deaf.

It is quite possible to run with full speed like that. Blindness and deafness doesn't make anyone slower.

You have an idea how hard it is to keep your balance if you can't see anything? Much less keep your balace while running, and blind.

Sure, say you -could- run like that, but then you would so easily lose direction and you would run into walls and stuff more often than not.

You'd run real fast and smash your face against the wall, sure, but you'd still run...real fast.

Deaf? I do not think so. However some sort of movement penalty while blind makes since. I know it would be possible to run full speed, but you would run the risk of running into something and causes yourself damage. Unfortunatley there is no way to script that. What about the screen going black while blind (like when resting)?

Unfortunately, if you're blind, but not deaf, you the player need to be able to see in order to hear what others are saying. :(

Maybe the blackness can be for when you're blind AND deaf, although OOC DM messages and such would be lost too.

I'm pretty darn sure this already happens when afflicted with Blind/Deaf!

Blindness/Deafness is one save, and one balled together effect in the spell, I'm pretty sure. The screen already goes mostly black, I'm not sure if there is a way to black out the ENTIRE screen to make navigation near impossible.

I suggested the small movement penalty to help represent losing your balance, and running into things. Which many people seem to conveniently forget about when PVP is involved with being blinded/deafened by this spell.

Exceptions for Blindfight, as that represents not needing vision to move and strike well.

Blindfight helps you when your blind. I highly doubt it should come into effect when your both blind AND deaf you shouldn't be able to do much along the lines of darting about.

Even with blindfight you shouldn't be able to run through an area you weren't even facing before you afflicted the spell perfectly running around corners and up slopes.

But I don't think anything mechanically can be put in the fix it perfectly. Best bet I suppose is to always get a dm if your relying on the spell that way bob the god of blindness can whack their ass if they run around lamely like that.

Is that an EFU specific deity that will grant spells?

Yes but its an application deity.
