D&D (2024) Bonus action minor illusion (wizard illusionist 3rd level ability) creating cover and halflings

[g00se99994]

I would rule it that Blindsight would not register silent image or minor illusion at all. But would the more powerful illusions that have other senses.

True sight recognizes all of them.

oh yeah for sure. just close your eyes and allow your blindsight or whatever other sense you have take over. I think that's 100% legit. wouldn't have any penalty to hit at all in that case. Overall I'm happy with getting a single round of something when I use my illusions in game, not too greedy

I'd go obscurement (disadvantage).

The illusion won't stop a sword swing or an arrow going though it. Intentionally or otherwise.

yeah i think shooting through it would make it become transparent to the shooter.

The 2014 spell says: "Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it.
If a creature uses its action to examine the sound or image, the creature can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the illusion becomes faint to the creature.”

The spell description says shooting an arrow through the illusion reveals it as an illusion, but it takes a successful investigation check as an Action by each individual creature to see through the illusion.
Why waist an Action (investigation) that could be an Attack (with an arrow) to only allow yourself to see through the illusion if the arrow Attack could do that, potential damage, and allow everyone to see through illusion?

Any uses people can think of for a minor illusion + another illusion spell?
