It is a save-for-duration. Its de-buff vs invisible is no more valuable at higher levels as access to invisible becomes more frequent.Tasha's is a single target control that does not scale at all. It has an int limit that prevents many beasts. It allows re-saves each round AND when damaged.Both are concentration, FF has longer range. Durations are same iirc.FF is verbal only, so no hands needed. If you can talk, you can cast. For a bard with weapons and dex, that can matter. Not only is THL VSM but your components include pies - tiny tarts. Not always easy on hand if you get looted or escape captivity scenarios.Ranged encounters would seem to really favor FF. There are quite a few terrain situations where an aoe would be much better than a short range must-see-creature.Outside of a plain white room, seems obvious which way I would go. FF before Tasha's. While tier-1 limits your "value" somewhat cuz invis not as common for foes, it's also a tier with fewer known spells or prepared, so multi-function is huge.</blockquote>
