[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 6646195"] It wouldn't stop them from hearing you, which considering most D&D is based off a fantastical psuedo-medieval society where most people are stupid and scared of their own shadows, could be quite terrifying. A disembodied voice could lead to fantatical cultists following/attacking you for pretending to be their god. Religious persons could refuse to deal with the party if they heard the person speak or felt their presence (since being invisible doesn't cause you to stop taking up space). I agree that like LOTR, perhaps being invisible via an incredibly amped-up potion isn't the same as being invisible via properly controlled magic, so perhaps you can see the dead (who are quite terrifying) or you can see some creatures from another realm that don't quite exist on your world. The keyword "shadow" comes to mind from MTG, creatures who were trapped in a non-physical state between dimensions who could sometimes be seen (as a blurry form in the corner of your eye) but not interacted with. If we consider that sight works by receiving light, perhaps if you want a more "cursed" approach, being invisible would also make you blind, since the light of the world would no longer interact with ANY part of your body.
