INVISIBILITY

Learn how to use Invisibility in Neverwinter! Understand its benefits like concealment and attack bonuses, and how to counter enemy invisibility. Get the edge!

Hey there! So, you're curious about Invisibility in Neverwinter? It's a pretty neat trick that can really change how you approach certain situations. Let's break it down. When you're invisible, enemies can't see you with their regular eyes. This means they can't use their [spot](https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Spot "Spot") skill to find you. However, they can still hear you! If they do hear you, you'll appear as a translucent figure on screen, and they can actually attack you. So, don't think you're completely safe just because you're unseen. Here's what Invisibility gives you: * 50% Concealment: This is a big one. It makes you harder to hit. * Flat-footed Target: Anyone you attack while invisible is considered flat-footed, which is a disadvantage for them. * +2 Attack Bonus: You get a nice little boost to your attacks, unless the target has [blind fighting](https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Blind_fight "Blind fight"). Now, here's a crucial bit of info: if you attack someone, or do anything hostile, your invisibility drops. This includes any lingering spells you cast *before* you went invisible. But don't worry, summoning a creature or having your summoned creature attack doesn't break your invisibility. Handy, right? Some enemies have magical ways to see through your invisibility. The main ones are [see invisibility](https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/See_invisibility "See invisibility") and [true seeing](https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/True_seeing "True seeing"). These abilities also mess with the attack bonus you get from being invisible. Funnily enough, it seems to be a bug where the invisible attacker loses the bonus if *they* have these abilities, not the target. These magical senses also cancel out the concealment from invisibility, but not other kinds. For example, [improved invisibility](https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Improved_invisibility "Improved invisibility") has its own concealment effect that these don't touch. Keep in mind, attacking something you can't see usually gives you a -4 penalty on your [attack rolls](https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Attack_roll "Attack roll"). This is important when you're trying to hit an invisible foe. Since some creatures can detect or even see invisible players, it's often a good idea to use [stealth](https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Stealth "Stealth") mode even when you're invisible. It just adds another layer of protection. Hope this helps you master the art of vanishing!
