You make natural terrain in a 150-foot Cube in range look, sound, and smell like another sort of natural terrain. Thus, open fields or a road can be made to resemble a swamp, hill, crevasse, or some other difficult or impassable terrain. A pond can be made to seem like a grassy meadow, a precipice like a gentle slope, or a rock-strewn gully like a wide and smooth road. Manufactured structures, equipment, and creatures within the area aren’t changed.
The tactile characteristics of the terrain are unchanged, so creatures entering the area are likely to notice the illusion. If the difference isn’t obvious by touch, a creature examining the illusion can take the Study action to make an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC to disbelieve it. If a creature discerns that the terrain is illusory, the creature sees a vague image superimposed on the real terrain.

Posted Oct 16, 2024Sure. Though remember it's only a 150-foot cube, so not, like, an entire forest

Posted Mar 28, 2025Making a natural terrain, how loose is the interpretation. Like if we make the terrain similar to the feywilds is that ok? Since it’s a 150 cube can we make types of structural buildings or is it more like we can make caves since it’s not man made? Since it can alter sound, smell, and looks of nature can we make a safari with illusion animals. Can we make small visuals of town with moving people? Or something simple like a group of people heading down a path?

Posted Apr 2, 2025If the caster of Hallucinatory Terrain is familiar with Feywild terrain, I don't see why they couldn't make an illusory facsimile of it, as it is still natural terrain in of itself, even if it's not native for the area.
The spell can't create anything manufactured, man-made or otherwise. So, no buildings, cobblestone roads, or fences, etc.
The spell doesn't create illusory creatures, that includes smell, sound, or visual. However, Major Image can create permanent illusory creatures.
It can make the sound of rustling trees, flowing water, and swaying grass. In addition to the smell and visuals of such phenomena.
Hallucinatory Terrain is a foundation spell to setup with other illusions or set pieces. It's meant to be used in conjunction with other tools and/or liven up bleak areas such as an underground sanctum.
