But Faerie Fire doesn't just let you sense them, it specifies that the creature does not benefit from invisibility.Now compare the text for blur, which gives disadvantage on attacks based on visual stimuli. or mask with another noise via timing, or disguise as something else") won't work against Tremorsense.
Thank you! I agree with an earlier post suggesting that it is based on how a DM or Table views the operation of stealth and what the skill is designed to do. Also, the "invisible" condition is @DaleM And yet if you are on the other side of a closed door or standing in the dark, attack rolls against you have disadvantage. Featured on Meta

Creatures caught in Faerie Fire are outlined by the spell. Truesight is a way to see through illusions and invisibility, but it doesn't grant infallible vision enough to nullify these effects. The creature's location can be detected by any noise it makes or any tracks it leaves.Attack rolls against the creature have disadvantage, and the creature's attack rolls have advantage.An invisible creature is impossible to see without the aid of magic or a Blindsight is a special type of sense, along with senses like True Sight and Tremorsense.The condition explicitly calls out that there are special senses that bypass the condition. I'm leaning more toward "no" but am curious to other views and why. A creature with blindsight can perceive its surroundings without relying on sight, within a specific radius. Blindsight being very limited to shorter ranges than most other visions and therefore requires you never want to be within it's range because even tremor sense can't see a flying creature. I don't think it's useful to take something as abstract as Stealth and force it to be only one of those two specific interpretations. An invisible creature is impossible to see without the aid of magic or a special sense.. Blindsight is a special type of sense, along with senses like True Sight and Tremorsense. Just my opinion. 5 years ago. The only exception would be etheral creatures or other ways to not be on the same physical plane.On our table you do not just call "stealth" and roll for it. @ Neil Slater: That's a VERY good comment. We describe actions like "I want to dash from rock to rock" and the DM then makes us roll the Stealth Check. I lean toward "yes" because truesight seems to imply a power that lets one see things true and clear without magic interference such as illusions, invisibility, and such. Compare it to monsters that get blindsight.
"Invisible" means "unable to be seen". Why? @rpeinhardt: Although you are free to accept any answer, and DaleM is clearly an expert, if you are interested in @rpeinhardt Rules do what they say, and this is indeed what the rules say. Unless the creatures version of blindsight is specified then any creature in range is considered seen no matter the stealth check made since stealth is meant to move quietly or without being seen but even trying to hide without cover of any kind is impossible if you look at how the hide action works since it can either hear or sense beyond normal means. Creatures without eyes, such as grimlocks and gray oozes, typically have this special sense, as do creatures with echolocation or heightened senses, such as bats and true dragons. The Invisible condition is actually An invisible creature is impossible to see without the aid of magic or a special sense.The rules handle attacks between unseen characters in a consistent way, whether they're invisible, Invisibility is a condition that certain magical effects (e.g. It's fully consistent with both hypotheses.

You must log in or register to reply here. Because invisible characters are not visible, they're not automatically Hidden. Strictly rules as written, "impossible to see without the aid of magic or a special sense" and "Attack rolls against the creature have disadvantage" are written as separate effects. That is what I believed may have been the correct interpretation but there was some confusion in my group about there being disadvantage even when the creature was seen or "perceived" by blindsight. It spells out that its benefits are nullified.From a rule-based standpoint, there is some benefit that invisibility has that blur doesn't, and there's some benefit to Faerie Fire that Blindsight and Truesight lack.From a narrative standpoint, Blindsight allows you to sense an invisible creature, but not perfectly. Therefore it can perceive invisible creatures. Anybody can answer
Feat: Sight without Seeing. Special: to gain this feat, you take a penalty: you become blind. Blindsight and Blindsense Blindsight . There might be too much information for the brain to process to see through invisibility perfectly.
I'm working on a character for a game and I was wondering if there were any easy ways to get blindsight and/or telepathy and I would greatly prefer that it didn't involve the use of items. You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sound.
5E Blindsight in 5e. The Invisible condition states (emphasis mine):. While it's not spelled out WHY it doesn't fully nullify invisibility, there's a variety of explanations. 5E seems to be easy, general, and simple vs. complex and a specific thing for a specific thing. Therefore, I don't think the Perception score being ordinary is evidence one way or the other. Start here for a quick overview of the site
