[RPG] Are dexterity saving throws based on sight

conditionsdnd-5esaving-throw

The 'blind' status defines

A blinded creature can’t see and automatically fails any ability check that requires sight.

Many spells and effects require targets to perform a dexterity saving throw. For example, the 'Fireball' spell requires that

each creature in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on that point must make a dexterity saving throw.

Do blind creatures automatically fail this saving throw? If not, then, which saving throws are based on sight? Do the rules specifically mention this?

Best Answer

The Blinded condition affects Ability Checks that rely on sight. It says nothing about Saving Throws, so you can make a Saving Throw just fine, of any kind.
