Default Blindness & Dodge

If you are accustomed to Blindness you have -6 and -10 when you suddenly go blind.

How does this affect Dodge?

In GCA I can see that you have a -4 to Dodge, but this is when you are accustomed to being blind. How severe is the Dodge penalty when you go suddenly blind and a reference to book and page (if there is one)?

"Can't see attacker" gives a -4 to Dodge. See "Visibility" on B394. The -6 / -10 apply to attacks.

Parry and Block are allowed, also at -4, with a -2 Hearing roll. Apparently you don't subtract the attack modifier from the skill to recalculate a blind parry.

Tnx, especially from my players whom I wanted to penalize Dodge with -6 if they suddenly went blind.

Dodge can easily be major get out of Dodge full body movements, and not just small coordinated shifts. Those are mostly parries.

Do however take note of the rules for surprise attacks. You just outright get no defense if you can't tell when/where the attack is coming from.
