[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8493899, member: 6801845"] Air "warps"? How does that work? The assumption is that unlike the alien cloaking technology from the Predator movies it's impossible to see. Assuming no air flow, no cobwebs, no fly bumping against it? Is the statue making noise? No, it's inactive. Is it leaving tracks? In my scenario, no. Is there [I]anything [/I]other than sight that could give it's position away? On a hard floor with no dust? Are there some situations where it could be detected? Sure. There could be a birds nest on it's head. Somebody could have painted it with neon glowing colors. There has to be [I]something[/I] you can perceive*, which will be up to the DM and their vision of the environment. Feel free to run it differently in your game, there's nothing in the rules that states that you automatically have a chance to notice invisible objects or creatures. P.S. [USER=6701422]@Plaguescarred[/USER], invisibility is different than transparent in 5E. The definition of invisibility: [LIST] [*]An invisible creature is impossible to see without the aid of magic or a special sense. For the purpose of hiding, the creature is heavily obscured. The creature's location can be detected by any noise it makes or any tracks it leaves. [/LIST] [I]*or magical detection, blindsight, feral sense and so on[/I] [/QUOTE]
