Second, if you look at the language in the hiding section, you do not automatically see everything in your line of sight. During combat you are generally assumed to be aware in all directions, although here it gives the DM explicit discretion. It follows that you do not necessarily automatically know everything in your blindsight radius, just as you don't automatically know everything in your regular line of sight. Just because you are able to perceive something doesn't mean you are automatically consciously aware of its position and identity.Here's the thing though: the RAW is ambiguous. Without better defined terms, there are many reasonable interpretations of what is written in the books. Your interpretation is one of several that, IMO, are equally well-supported by the text. I have no idea what RAI is. To me it seems very clear, however, that there is simply not enough in the text to support one interpretation over another. So your interpretation is fine, but it is no closer to RAW than any of the others in this thread.</blockquote>
