[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8544261, member: 7032025"] It does not need to: "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." As the name implies, it displaces your image, so it's not at the real location anymore, it's at the new one. It's not creating a new image like mirror image, it's using your image, just appearing to be standing a bit off. I don't think someone could reasonably make that claim based on the sentence above. I think it really depends on the type of blindsight. 5e has a general blanket description for blindsight, but you can imagine different types, from echolocation to heat to just mystic feeling. Moreover, the illusion type is not precise either, nothing says that it displaces only the visual image. It makes you appear a bit off, it might be complete with sound, heat, etc. in which case it might fool some types of blindsense. At this stage, it's really a DM's call, 5e is not precise enough.
