If they couldn't it would be in their condition immunities. 🙂

Dan. You’re so fast! Haha good point! I didn’t think it was in the stat block but haven’t looked at skeletons in awhile The only conditions they're immune to are exhaustion and poison.
And as always, DM adjudication based on the situation is paramount!

They see despite not having eyeballs, so we're off in the realms of weirdness. I could see a DM ruling that certain forms of blindness, such as tossing sand in their face, wouldn't be effective because they have no eyeballs to irritate with grit, and no lids to close.

But things like blindfolds, darkness, magical blindness, dazzling lights, they can all foil their vision as normal, just through slightly different physical/metaphysical mechanics.
By that same token, throwing sand in them could still work for some weird reason.

Ahhhhh okay okay. Hmmm I’mma think on some rules related to darkness/magical darkness. I have plans… They're pretty easy to adjudicate vis a vis darkness, they have darkvision 60 ft so that covers most cases.
