Infrared light is normally not visible, but there are real-world methods for being able to observe that it is there. Even ignoring that, camouflage and invisibility are defined differently in relation to how human vision typically works. Do I think that the current interpretation of how stealth and invisibility works in D&D 5e24 is nonsense? Yes, and I have said that. However, with the limited information currently available to be, it appears that the 5e24 rules currently offer no way to interpret how it works without creating broken interactions with other aspects of the game. Another example of something absurd could be that the entire army you've mentioned could grapple a character, and the character would still be able to use a longbow. In 3rd Edition, a high level fighter with the right chain of Cleave feats could teleport around the world in 6 seconds by lining up a bunch of commoners and killing them. In early 4th Edition, I could use Mirror Sphere to force a character to eat itself.5th Edition isn't immune to having some unusual rules.It's not difficult to houserule that a "hidden" condition exists in 5e. However, such a thing does not currently appear in the 5e24 rules.</blockquote>
