[QUOTE="Sorcerers Apprentice, post: 7161440, member: 6854936"] RAW is clear. If it doesn't say that blindsight counters the cloak then it doesn't. Blindsight doesn't have any general rule that it counters illusions. You can also argue that RAI is the same, since there are non-visual illusions, and the cloak could easily be displacing whatever it is that blindsight is sensing. On the other hand, The cloak seems to do exactly the same thing as the Blur spell, which is countered by blindsight, so perhaps it's simply an omission in the rules that it doesn't say that blindsight isn't affected by the cloak. Gripping hand, I'd probably rule that the cloak is a permanent blur effect and is countered by blindsight, but that's just my personal opinion. At least I would rule that way if a cloak of displacement would ever show up in my games, which it wont. That thing is crazy OP, whether it works against blindsight or not. :-) [/QUOTE]
