 Hello forum. I was just doing a bit of testing with a drow warlock, and I can't seem to figure out how my attack rolls are working.

I have a base attack bonus of 3, a dexterity bonus of 4, and I'm throwing down Eldritch Blasts outdoors. I should have a +7 to my ranged touch attacks then, right? But instead, I'm getting a +6. As I understand things, Light Blindness doesn't actually do anything to your attack rolls, despite the description, and only affects skills. 

Was this fixed, and the wiki just hasn't been updated?

Are you using custom content? I have no idea whether anything affects it but I'm just saying it's POSSIBLE that someone (like Kaedrin) has fixed light blindness for eldritch blasts, since, unlike normal attacks, eldritch blasts are mostly script driven and therefore very easy to modify. For all I know that racial might have always worked for EBs, even though it's generally broken.

I did my own testing by adding and removing the light blindness feat and confirmed it affects eldritch blasts. I don't know if it's custom content or not but if you want to break it for EBs for consistency's sake, that shouldn't be too difficult IF the code responsible is in the EB scripts that we can access, rather than some hard coded stuff.
