[QUOTE="Cap'n Kobold, post: 8047039, member: 6802951"] Blindsight is very powerful, and probably not necessary: the only "cave creatures" that might realistically have it to that extent are bats. Darkvision in its current form works OK I think because it means that underground races can get by without a light source, but still have a use for one. Only really seems odd from an optimisation perspective if you are assuming that they should get something else better instead. Truesight is pretty powerful, even if you have to approach the disguised object or person. A reduced power version might be advantage on checks and saves against illusions or magical disguises. If you have a lot of dungeon crawls, it probably would be, but it fits the flavour of elves being a little nocturnal and living outside in forests. Low light vision not only increases the effective range of light effects like darkvision, it has no range limit in low light conditions. [/QUOTE]
