Quick question, does blindsense get around things like mirror image or other figments?

Blindsense? No for mirror Image. Especially not if you use the option in the FAQ to have all images in the same square.

Blindsight? Depends on the illusion. For a Mirror Image, which specifies non-visual sense deny it, then yes.

But keep in mind most illusions offer sense besides just light. You get sound, scent, etc.

Blindsight should let you target things, but will not automatically let you make your save to disbelief.

If you have blindsense, and I assume you are not using eyes at all, you should be able to easily pinpoint the square that a wizard with Mirror Images is in. Of course, blindsense only lets you find the square, the target still has total concealment for a 50% miss rate.

Whether a 50% miss rate is better than the normal Mirror Image miss rate depends on how many images there are, and I am not so sure attacking blindly would eliminate the images and thus make it any easier to attack in the future.

I'm not trying to be combative, but why would you assume that? There are plenty of ways to gain blindsense and still use your eyes. (Three [Draconic] feats plus Draconic Senses, for instance.)

The reason I make the assumption is because the OP is asking about Mirror Image, and the only way to negate the images is to close your eyes, which still gives you the 50% miss rate. Blindsense with closed eyes would let you find his square unerringly, but you still have that same miss rate.
