@ChrisPerkinsDnD Would you allow Phantasmal Force to cause status effects? I can't decide if 'blind' would be unbalancing.

If a spell applies any sort of condition (blinded, restrained, etc.), its description says so. #WotCStaff https://t.co/QprV747vu7

As somebody who has taken the illusion aspect of the spell to heart, I have asked for as a player and allowed as a dm reasonable status effects, like if the player describes a situation that would restrain like a hole, or blind like tar.
I know this topic is old at this point, but I’d like to point out that the spell ‘Darkness’ makes no mention of blinded condition nor the heavily obscured effect, only stating that creatures with darkvision can’t see through the darkness. So by this ruling, creatures without darkvision are unaffected by the darkness spell…
