This was snipped from an above quote.
Don't these two clauses say, essentially, the same bloody thing? You can't make something appear to not be there but you can hide it. Either way, the object in question isn't recognizable as what it really is. I don't know about you guys, but it ammounts to pretty much the same bag of Oreos, yes?
I think the big thing that is unclear is that a Figment can't hide something directly (by making it invisible) but it can hide it indirectly, say by encasing it in another illusion such as a wall, a pillar, a Velvet Elvis, whatever.
So, while a Figment can't make something invisible, it can hide you and mask your presence if you don't move around or make alot of noise.
It was a semantical argument that had nothing to do with the main point.
And rangers arent worthless unless you only care about min/maxing, and not roleplaying.
