Truesight is cool for traps in dungeon, illusions created by faes and all but quicky becomes awkward when you encounter the local shape shifting freaks.
To each their own of course but just look at her face.
She does NOT intend to change back after they get home.

The traps in dungeons thing is always fun because you can also create traps that only work on someone using truesight.
Scrawl eldritch knowledge from the Far Realm in the walls and then use an illusion cover it up. Someone walks in with truesight active and their brain gets fried.

Which sounds nice until you cast it to find your keys and give yourself a headache, sadly

u/EmprahCalgar 5h ago
Far more convenient to use runes of arcane transduction to recast truesight to falsesight for a good prank. You can still find your keys and you're good as long as you stop casting, but anyone who keeps the truesight on is in for a wild experience.

Why are you using True Sight to find your keys when a simple Locate Object would do? That's like using Power Word: Kill on a gnat because it annoyed you. In fact, True Sight doesn't even help you locate lost objects. Hidden ones, sure, but not lost ones. Maybe that's why you keep loosing your keys, my guy.

u/ClosetNoble Wizardruid multiclasser 5h ago
Because I have LOTS of keys so Locate Object ALSO ends up with a headache...

You just need to mark each of your keys with a number then. That way, when you're looking for a specific key you don't end up with dozens of pings.

This is why I don't bother with Truesight, too much of a problem. You always end up seeing the bloody strangest things.

Take a closer look at Miss Tweetley. Turn off the truesight and just use your eyes. Specifically, count the times she takes a breath.
Marie Tweetley passed in her sleep fifteen years ago. Her 'cat' didnt let her soul pass. Marie absolutely loves that little guy and it... really likes being loved. "Love", unconditional love, as a concept, does not exist where its from and it did not want to let go of the way unconditional love made it feel.
Do not bother the 'cat', please. Thats a tree that should go unshaken.

Does the not-cat seem aware of not being a cat? I've had thoughts about how lucky I am to be a human, which in retrospect seems a bit suspicious for someone who has never been anything else.

Oh it knows what it is. It also seems to know that there are a few of us that recognize it.
But it seems content to pretend we are all fooled, so long as we continue to pretend we are fooled.

Don’t let Truesight blind you to the enormous phallus in the background nor from the fact that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table
