DM Tips
DM Tip
Much more powerful than regular Invisibility due to persisting through attacks
DM Tip
Devastating when used on a rogue or other damage dealer
DM Tip
<a href="/rules/conditions/invisible-condition-5e/">Invisible</a> creatures can still be detected through sound, scent, or tracks
DM Tip
Can trivialize some encounters, so consider enemies with blindsight or tremorsense
