D&D 5E - How powerfull is a permanent blur item?

Publish date: 2024-07-20
Cloak of Displacement essentially does this already. For some reason WotC rated it as not very powerful (only a Rare) but the only possible justification I can think of for that is that there are plenty of powerful monsters such as demons with Truesight and dragons (who have Blindsight) who outright ignore Cloaks of Displacement and Blur spells, at least at close range.

It's still extremely powerful in my opinion, especially if your AC was already high.

In short, the value of the item depends on how common high-level monsters are in the campaign. In the extreme case where every single monster has infinite-range blindsight or truesight and/or regular blindsight/truesight but no ranged attacks, the value of the item is zero.
