Powergamers not by power character building but by  "creative using of  magic" in combat which i can not easily match  due to lack of experience (or skill<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/blush.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":blush:" title="Blush    :blush:" data-shortname=":blush:" />).I have some specific questions..1. If you are invisible and have "nondetection" on you, will "see invisible" still work on you ?2. Is it correct that a simple skeleton conjured as an guardian can see invisible & shadows hidden people perfectly because undead "see the lifeforce" ?3. How high is the spot/search value to find a druid in the forest hiding as forest in wildshaped bird  among other birds but annoying the DM's enemy party with constant call lightning ? (No, he has no magic item with him <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f621.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:"  data-smilie="4"data-shortname=":mad:" />)4. A wizard casts fly on himself and levitates on a big massive boulder making it weigthless and pushing it over a stationary or big slow moving target. He goes to maximum fall damage height , casts true strike and removes the levitate from the boulder. Any ideas about making these strategy more difficult? <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/rant.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rant:" title="Rant    :rant:" data-shortname=":rant:" /><img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/rant.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rant:" title="Rant    :rant:" data-shortname=":rant:" /><img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/rant.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rant:" title="Rant    :rant:" data-shortname=":rant:" />5. What chance/modifier to find/hit an invisible flying wizard with an ordinary archer ?6. How can i notice a rope trick is present (standard trap evading tactics) and what possibilities do i have to get them out ?7. Detect evil-Spell. Can you detect the evil alignment of a ordinary people not connected to an higher evil power? And if so, how are you to  be supposed to play crime mysteries settings ?8. Does an non detection spell on a thief protect him from triggering magic traps?Many questions <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/glasses.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt="B-)" title="Glasses    B-)" data-shortname="B-)" />If someone can help me with some of them, i would appreciate that.... and you can live with the satisfaction that due to you somewhere in the  realms some people will met unexpected resistance the next sessions.Finally, i would appreciate hints or links pointing at same reading sources where i can improve my DM "fighting skills in higher levels" to make combat more interesting. I already found the tactics articles at the wizards site.I'm experimenting with non damage dealing spells and area shaping spells but i think  that i'm  neither the first one with such problems nor will i be the last one <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />.RegardsPluton</blockquote>
