[QUOTE="Ourph, post: 1633520, member: 20239"] The party wizard/sorcerer can be a big advantage in helping the rest of his party pinpoint the invisible creature/character. Most of the straight-forward methods have already been suggested. This is one that I worked out in our 3.5 game because we were getting pounded by a wizard/sorcerer duo who always came at us invisible. I keep an "invisibility emergency kit" on me at all times. It consists of a scroll of [i]see invisibility[/i] (obviously), a scroll of [i]spectral hand[/i] and I always take at least one [i]light[/i] spell. Using my ability to see the invisible opponent, I use the spectral hand to deliver a light spell to the opponent's clothing or his most useful possession. While the item remains invisible, the light given off by the item does not, allowing everyone to see which square the target is in (they still have the 50% miss chance, but it's a heck of alot better than not being able to pinpoint the guy at all). In the case of the wizard/sorcerer duo, I delivered the light spell (no save by the way) to the wizard's spell component pouch. Now, he has the option of either dropping his components and not being able to cast most of his spells, wasting some time dispelling the light spell (I'm holding action with a lightning bolt, ready to force a MAJOR concentration check) or running around with a big "HERE I AM" sign on his belt. Not a foolproof method by any means, but it's relatively cheap (two 2nd level scrolls and a 0 level spell or two) and has made the difference in a couple of fights in the past. [/QUOTE]
