Description

This spell is similar to the invisibility spell, but the recipient is able to attack, either by missile discharge, combat, or spellcasting, and remain unseen. Note, however, that telltale traces (such as a shimmering effect) sometimes allow an observant opponent to attack the invisible spell recipient. These traces are only noticeable when specifically looked for (after the invisible character has made his presence known). Attacks against the invisible character suffer –4 penalties to the attack rolls, and the invisible character’s are made with a +4 bonus. Beings with high that might normally notice invisible opponents will notice a creature under this spell as if they had 2 fewer Hit Dice (they roll saving throws vs. spell; success indicates they spot the character).
