moving while blinded

[Starhawk]

Are there any penalties for a person just moving when flashed or trying to just move through a darkness field? It seems to me that some sort of DEX roll might be required for a person to move without stumbling over something or falling down. This came up in our last game when a person with combat sense has in a darkness field and wanted to move several hexes and attack a target who was also in the darkness.

There's no specific penalties under the rules. It's certainly well within the bounds of reason for the GM to impose such a penalty in areas filled with potential obstacles. I'd say the character could probably eliminate the penalty by moving slowly (1" per Phase as a Full Phase Action) -- that way he can feel his way safely past anything he might trip over or bump into.
