Vision-Impaired Auristics

So, here's an idle thought: How would Auristics interact with, say, near-sightedness?

Would it distort the visual perception of the aura? Or would they see it clearly?

Tarot mentions that a bit in the v-blog on Auristics. You might want to watch it. A link to it can be found on the bottom of the Auristics page.

Ah, thank you! That clears things up a bunch!

Keep in mind too that Auristics doesn't actually replace vision. You'd overgive all over the place if you were say a blind man trying to use Auristics to see with.

We've had that before and the pcs involved have ran into a whole host of issues.

"Seeing" auras is just a convention that we use because for most people sight is the dominant sense. My character, for instance, smells and tastes auras instead, because those are the main senses of snakes.

A character who is near sighted might do something similar, maybe with hearing instead or something.

(Also, fun fact: all auras taste like bananas)
