Does Blind Sense work against Pass Without Trace? Blind Sense says "if you can hear" while Pass Without Trace says "you can't be detected except by magical means" -- Blind Sense isn't magical. So would a hiding and/or invisible character using Pass Without Trace be discovered by Blindsense?
Same question with regard to Blindsight and other similar abilities.
That's not what the spell says. Pass Without Trace says you can't be tracked except by magical means -- as in, it takes magic to find a trail you might be leaving
You can still be detected, you just get +10 to your Stealth roll. Any creature with blindsense would still have to make a Perception roll to find you

Active characters:
Carric Aquissar, elven wannabe artist in his deconstructionist period (Archfey warlock) Lan Kidogo, mapach archaeologist and treasure hunter (Knowledge cleric) Mardan Ferres, elven private investigator obsessed with that one unsolved murder (Assassin rogue) Xhekhetiel, halfling survivor of a Betrayer Gods cult (Runechild sorcerer/fighter)
Pass without Trace helps with stealth. Blindsight may remove prerequisites for stealth (rules for exactly when you can hide are vague, but generally suggest some level of obscurement is required, and blindsight ignores visual obscurement), but does not otherwise interact with stealth.

Ah, I did misread and mistype. It says "masking you...from detection" which I conflated to "can't be detected...." Thanks for that catch.
