What level of Transform is required to blind a target? The reason I am asking is because two different rulebooks give contradictory answers within the books themselves.
Under Transform (6E1 pg. 304, 2nd column) it states that someone can blind a subject by removing his sight as a Major Transform. Yet, under Major Transform it says that Major Transform can give or remove 20 points worth of a Complication. Blindness is a 35 point complication. In fairness it does say a Major Transform can give possibly more than 20 points of a Complication, at the gm's option.
In Champions Powers (pg 9), under the power, Blinding Acid, a Severe Transform is used to turn a person into a blind person. However, on page 191, the power, Ultraviolet Flare, uses a Major Transform to turn a person into a blind person. It seems like the same end result. What accounts for the difference?
Basically, if you were running a campaign, would you consider blinding a subject a Major Transform or a Severe Transform? Thanks.
