Character Name: Zaknafein Do'Urden Series: Forgotten Realms : The Legend of Drizzt Skill Equivalencies Requested: Sensory/Somatic Conditioning Reasoning: In book canon there are a lot of instances where people talk about how he's able to accomplish things most people are not capable of doing, which is why he was viewed for centuries as being the greatest warrior in Menzoberranzan (and is still thought of the same way decades after his death). A lot of it falls in line with the conditioning skills, (always seeming know what he is and is not physically capable of, pulling off amazing physical feats, his his hearing being almost unnaturally keen) most notedly his ability to function completely blind. The closest actual D&D ability still requires him to be able to hear, but he had been able to whip the tongue out of a high priestesses mouth while purposefully blinded as screaming and the chaos of a house war was going on around him. It could be argued that he was able to sense her in a different way, because a pinpoint attack like that to prevent her from casting spells is a difficult thing to accomplish even being able to see.
Not sure if this completely translates, but it can't hurt to ask.
