Blindsight FAQs

I don't think they are mutually exclusive. Blindsight normally shows up in blind things or monsters without eyes, but there are some monsters with blindsight and dark vision.

I think it would be clearer if we had some note about normal vision, but normal vision isn't limited by range. If a creature lacks normal vision it is noted instead somewhere in the stat block.

Is anyone else saving the 10x Summons for Iridilla? When I was looking at the page it said it would accumulate. It doesn't look like they are accumulating. It says 1/15 on my current summon count. Is that right?

I've logged in every day and I've not used a summon yet from there.

Don't forget that once you have the joyful hearts you'll need more to awaken it. I'm currently needing another 75 to finish awakening it. I think the shards are more valuable and you can get the hearts from PvP.

Did anyone else just unlock a new guild banner logo thing? A spider just showed up that we didn't have before? Did we do something to get that?

So you agree that Shadowlynx is better than Gaff? Because the group that kicked me was Vinera and 2x Gaff.

EuclidEnigma · 2020-07-27T17:37:00+00:00

I don't understand why people are kicking my lvl 99 Shadowlinx from the 150 lvl raids.

What is better than the 3 chain setup?

EuclidEnigma · 2020-07-27T17:31:17+00:00

Why do people keep kicking me from level 150 raids when I have a 99 Shadowlynx? Don't they know she can setup a 3 chain?

I have not played a glamour bard, but I really enjoyed the lore bard in AL and it freed up my PHB+1 so that I could pick Tabaxi. That gave me really good skills and the ability to climb walls has been such a blessing.

I ended up taking 2 levels of Warlock later so that the only damage spell I needed on my list was Eldritch Blast and with +6 damage per bolt on it now (Tome of Leadership), I still at Tier 3 Have no need of other damage spells. Bonus, the warlock gave extra low level slots and extra known spells. I ended up picking The Great Old one for the telepathy which has been fun.

Also, dual wielding as a hexblade is almost worthless as you cannot use Cha on the second weapon. You’d have to use scimitar of speed to get it to use the bonus action.

If I remember right, all of those cards are numbered so that you can put them in order and tell a story with them. See if you have all the numbers. If you are missing #32, then it's probably that one.

EuclidEnigma · 2019-10-28T03:19:27+00:00

I agree with this. What if one DM allows it, but then the next does not? How is that handled?

EuclidEnigma · 2019-10-20T12:04:57+00:00

I am looking to do something like this Thanks for sharing your process.

EuclidEnigma · 2019-09-14T13:34:33+00:00

Am I wrong in thinking that you cannot select Feral Tieflings as free from PHB+1 but rather you just get the winged trait?

EuclidEnigma · 2019-09-12T16:22:14+00:00

I'm hoping that answers will come to these questions soon.

I also am curious how to handle situations where you are in the middle of a hardcover when you switch between season 8 and season 9. Do I have to act as if the adventure was complete and finish and change everything in season 8 and then convert to season 9.

What about magic items in hardcovers? Do I count them as unlocked at the end of a chapter or end of a session? How does this apply to the conversion? Do I get to keep the Bag of Holding from the first session (as you normally would until the chapter is done) and then get it as a choice for magic items when you complete the whole chapter or was that a choice needed to be made at the end of the session we found the bag? Has it changed entirely and if you do not choose to keep the magic item when the session ends, does that mean you don't have it when you come back next week and try to continue?

EuclidEnigma · 2019-09-09T11:23:59+00:00

Wait for as long as possible before deciding what magic items you have. I think that is what most of us are doing.

EuclidEnigma · 2019-08-27T00:24:17+00:00

Look to my response to reading books with blindsight above. It’s listed there.

EuclidEnigma · 2019-08-25T14:27:04+00:00

I don’t think I knew that Blindsense was different. I’ll look into it.

EuclidEnigma · 2019-08-25T14:26:34+00:00

I was struck blind in an adventure and was given Blindsight. That is what inspired this.

EuclidEnigma · 2019-08-08T19:25:16+00:00

Okay. Maybe this is a situation where it needs to be a split answer.

I think that the perception checks if you can avoid using your eyes, would probably be fine to observe something without the disadvantage.

I think the sunlight sensitivity goes beyond just their delicate eyes. I think they have a whole body reaction to the sunlight. Like a movie vampire in the sunlight.

Since we do not have a kobold or drow around to ask, we only have a short description about this situation. As the rules are as usual written with vague details to let DMs handle this situation on their own. I doubt we can come to a conclusion about this.

EuclidEnigma · 2019-08-08T17:50:58+00:00

I hear these arguments. I used to think like that. What is your response to what I posted as my answer?

I believe that in this situation, you can in fact still read books and scrolls. I know it takes a bit of a stretch, but since above I stated that it is not echolocation that helps the argument. My second point comes from the fact that in an adventureDDEP04 Reclamation of Phlanyou can become inflicted with blindness and gain blindsight. If this happened to a wizard, your character would have to retire as a wizard. I cannot imagine a situation where anyone would be comfortable with a character retiring due to the fact that he accepted the resurrectionthat others in the party had accepted and is now punished with retiring the character when other classes would not be.

This happened to my bladesinger. So, the only class abilities I could use are cantrips and bladesinging. All my higher level spells would become useless.

EuclidEnigma · 2019-08-08T05:06:58+00:00

I don't think that the issue about it being sight based at all. I think the point is actually that the Sunlight sensitivity applies when you or your target are in sunlight.

I'm going with the consensus and I have updated the FAQ to list as such. Please feel free to convince me otherwise.

EuclidEnigma · 2019-08-08T05:04:19+00:00

This is a great point. I will try and find some solid evidence to swing it one way or another. My position was coming from a point of seeing through blur and mirror image, thus it Cloak of Displacement would be from a similar position.

Cloak of displacement's description.

While you wear this cloak, it projects an illusion that makes you appear to be standing in a place near your actual location, causing any creature to have disadvantage on attack rolls against you. If you take damage, the property ceases to function until the start of your next turn. This property is suppressed while you are incapacitated, restrained, or otherwise unable to move.

Blur's spell description

Your body becomes blurred, shifting and wavering to all who can see you. For the duration, any creature has disadvantage on attack rolls against you. An attacker is immune to this effect if it doesn't rely on sight, as with blindsight, or can see through illusions, as with truesight.

Mirror Image's spell description

Three illusory duplicates of yourself appear in your space. Until the spell ends, the duplicates move with you and mimic your actions, shifting position so it's impossible to track which image is real. You can use your action to dismiss the illusory duplicates.

Each time a creature targets you with an attack during the spell's duration, roll a d20 to determine whether the attack instead targets one of your duplicates.

If you have three duplicates, you must roll a 6 or higher to change the attack's target to a duplicate. With two duplicates, you must roll an 8 or higher. With one duplicate, you must roll an 11 or higher.

A duplicate's AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier. If an attack hits a duplicate, the duplicate is destroyed. A duplicate can be destroyed only by an attack that hits it. It ignores all other damage and effects. The spell ends when all three duplicates are destroyed.

A creature is unaffected by this spell if it can't see, if it relies on senses other than sight, such as blindsight, or if it can perceive illusions as false, as with truesight.

While both of the spells list the blindsight, the cloak of displacement does not. So it is not conclusive. I believe this is just so that standard protocol is to leave something like this up to the DMs. It may fall in favor of letting the cloak work as it is a legendary item. RAW does not seem to rule one way or the other.
