[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7487128, member: 6801845"] In my campaign they could. Of course they'd have to find a cooperative medusa to turn them into stone first and then turned invisible. :heh: Or, I don't know. Be far enough away or in an environment that would mask any minor noises they might make. Not actively interacting with their environment in any visible way. In order to be detected, there must be something that can be detected. I never assume a PC knows where every spider is because the spiders are small enough to be unseen in most cases and usually don't interact with the environment in a detectable way. Go out into your back yard with a blacklight when it's warm out and turn it on to see the hundreds of eyes looking back at you if you don't believe me. Does that mean spiders are taking the hide action? Of course not. It's just that we don't notice them until they're crawling up your arm and you shriek like an 8 year old girl. Not that I've ever done that of course. [/QUOTE]
