[QUOTE="smbakeresq, post: 7486750, member: 28301"] You are not carrying or wearing the flour when the spell is cast so it does not turn invisible, nor does anything you carry or put on after the spell is cast. You don’t transfer your invisibility to objects, nor does an object transfer it’s invisibility to you. Invisibility is an illusion spell, you still have a physical presence and can be affected by everything. You project an illusionary image of whatever is “behind” you from the perspective of any viewer, so you are projection light in some form. Burning oil would stick to and injury an invisible creature, it doesn’t disappear when it sticks to you and the affect wouldn’t extend to the smoke of your skin burning. Hasn’t everyone seen League of Extraordinary Gentleman, or The Invisible Man? The cold cream or bandages make you visible. Dust of Appearance isn’t in the game anymore but was way better. It showed invisible creatures and prevented invisibility, like Glitterdust did and Branding Smite does now. All flour would do is stick to you and prevent you from using invisibility to take the hide action in an otherwise visible space, you still are invisible and still get attacked with disadvantage. It just lets them track you. Invisibility has been toned down in this edition, that’s why things that take it away are rarer. Smart play can and should be rewarded. Another smart play is to grapple an invisible creature and prone it, you would always know where it is while it is grappled and melee attacks against a prone creature would cancel the disadvantage of attacking an invisible creature. If the players don’t figure out solutions well they deserve problems. [/QUOTE]
