I am the DM for a group of 5 players, one character was captured and put in a locked room, bound and blindfolded.
Any tips on how to blind the player to their location? Would you reset fog of war?
LOS enabled
Token is locked
Effects added to character (restrained, prone, blind)

Maybe just put an FoW in that room when there is no way to look outside :) That should make everything dark there, but you may need to move their token

That's a good idea, I think that might work

To reset fog of war you can remove the PC token from the map and then drag it back from the Combat Tracker. This way you can place the new token right inside the "blinded" room.
PS: I don't even know if there is another way of resetting FoW for single tokens. ;)

In the right-click radial menu is also a reset button in the visibility section :)

Indeed, thanks for the hint. ;) I remember to have seen it before, but this is not something you need very often.

In FGU, while you are using LOS, you can use the pit LOS wall style, which will allow the other characters to see in, but the token trapped within can not see out. It will also block movement out of the defined area.
