Third Eye Lesser discipline, Awakened
This discipline can open a third eye within your mind, opening your doors of perception.
Psychic Focus: While focused on this discipline, you have blindsight with a radius of 30 feet.
Tremorsense (1, C): As a bonus action, you gain tremorsense with a radius of 30 feet for up to 1 minute.
Unwavering Eye (1, C): As a bonus action, you gain advantage on Wisdom checks for up to 1 minute.
Truesight (5, C): As a bonus action, you gain truesight with a radius of 30 feet for up to 1 minute.
A monster with blindsight can perceive its surroundings without relying on sight, within a specific radius. Creatures without eyes, such as gridlocks and gray oozes, typically have this special sense, as do creatures with echolocation or heightened senses, such as bats and true dragons.
A monster with tremorsense can detect and pinpoint the origin of vibrations within a specific radius, provided that the monster and the source of the vibrations are in contact with the same ground or substance. Tremor sense can’t be sued to detect flying or incorporeal creatures.
So my question here is why is Tremorsense the higher function of the discipline when Blindsight is an at-will ability? It looks to me like Blindsight is the superior ability. Does it have something to do with barrier penetration?
