Invisible
Invisible
• An invisible creature is impossible to see without the aid of magic or a special sense. For the purpose of hiding, the creature is heavily obscured. The creature’s location can be detected by any noise it makes or any tracks it leaves.
• Attack rolls against the creature have disadvantage, and the creature’s attack rolls have advantage.
— Basic Rules
Invisible is interesting because it is the only condition on this list to provide benefits when applied to a creature, rather than consequences. Invisibility is extremely powerful in D&D 5e. While there are some abilities that can negate its effects, being invisible will usually allow you to go unnoticed by your foes. Because you are unable to be seen, invisibility acts in a similar fashion as if the creature you are fighting is Blinded. As covered in the Blinded section, having advantage on your attacks while all attacks against you are at disadvantage is a stellar tactical advantage. To balance the strength of the Invisible condition, many low-level items, and spells that grant invisibility immediately end their effect if you attack or cast a spell. Methods Some examples of things that can apply the Invisible condition are: • Invisibility (spell) • Greater Invisibility (spell) • Ring of Invisibility (magic item) • Cloak of Invisibility (magic item) Invisible Stalker (monster)
