[QUOTE="jayoungr, post: 6741748, member: 6702445"] It may be relevant to mention that my group is coming to 5E directly from D&D 3.5. In [i]Hoard of the Dragon Queen,[/i] there's a fight with a couple of wizards, during which one of them goes invisible and attempts to escape. When I ran this fight for my group, the player of our Human Battlemaster Fighter asked if he could make a perception check to figure out where the invisible wizard had gone. He suggested that his character might be able to figure out the wizard's location by listening, or by spotting a depression in the carpet where he was standing. I said he could make the check, but with disadvantage because the character was trying to notice these small details in the middle of a fight. Fortunately for me, the player rolled low, ending the question, but I'm really wondering if I made the right call and how I'll handle it if the question comes up again. Does it make invisibility too weak to allow a chance to locate the invisible creature? If you do allow a chance to locate an invisible creature by means of sound or other cues, how do you determine the DC? Are there any official words on the subject? [/QUOTE]
