Faerie Fire and Invisibility

[Lopke_Quasath]

If you cast Faerie Fire on a creature then later that creature becomes invisible, will the Faerie Fire still glow, or be suppressed by Invisibility? The answer may be simple, but I just want to check.

Faerie Fire

A pale glow surrounds and outlines the subjects. Outlined subjects shed light as candles. Outlined creatures do not benefit from the concealment normally provided by darkness (though a 2nd-level or higher magical darkness effect functions normally), blur, displacement, invisibility, or similar effects.

Invisibility

The creature or object touched becomes invisible, vanishing from sight, even from darkvision. If the recipient is a creature carrying gear, that vanishes, too....Light, however, never becomes invisible, although a source of light can become so (thus, the effect is that of a light with no visible source). Any part of an item that the subject carries but that extends more than 10 feet from it becomes visible.

Since Faerie Fire surrounds the creature, and Invisibility can't affect light, it seems that the Faerie Fire would continue to show the creatures outline.

Looks that way. Fairy Fire will still be visible.

"Outlined creatures do not benefit from the concealment normally provided by...invisibility, or similar effects."

Add in the line from invis about light never becoming invisible and you have a home run.

Defeating invisibility has been one of the classic uses of Faerie Fire since 1e. Although Faerie Fire typically has limited opportunities to be worthwile, when it's useful, it's really useful. Definitely good scroll potential.
