Same as 5eYou already know this as 5e Hallucinatory Terrain — It's a straight rename of Hallucinatory Terrain — same 4th-level, 150-foot-cube illusion that re-skins terrain's look/sound/smell but not its feel, so touch gives it away. ✨
Make a 150-foot-cube area of terrain look, sound, and smell like different terrain for 24 hours; tactile contact can expose the illusion.

Pairs withambush tactics · a party that sets up the battlefield before combat · Operative archetype
You make terrain in a 150-foot cube in range look, sound, and smell like some other sort of terrain.
The tactile characteristics of the terrain are unchanged, so creatures entering the area are likely to see through the illusion. If the difference isn't obvious by touch, a creature carefully examining the illusion can attempt an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your tech save DC to disbelieve it. A creature who discerns the illusion for what it is, sees it as a vague image superimposed on the terrain.
