Narratively, the players and DM need to figure something out that doesn't sound absurd or break immersion. Perhaps B is in the rafters, hiding inside shadows, or is able to temporarily distract A.I agree that mechanically it sounds really frustrating to think that people are literally turning invisible, but think of it more like Batman or Spider-Man sneaking up on someone, even from the front. They will figure out some way to get past A because of their incredible skill at Stealth. Mechanically, it is so much simpler to say that Batman was Invisible rather than having a whole separate condition.I would just shrug and say that a person who cast See Invisibility or True Seeing happens to be using Divination magic to notice non-visual queues which happens to include stealthy people. Anyone can detect a sneaking person by succeeding on a Search action, but it happens automatically for creatures with special senses.I personally would add a house rule where creatures are constantly doing a no-action-required Search using their Passive Perception score simply to allow for creatures like dogs with enhanced Perception to smell to automatically detect invisible creatures. I would hope that something like that would be included in the Dungeon Master's Guide later. If a PC with a high Passive Perception encounters an Invisible creature, I would hope the DM would either just tell them directly or at least tell them to make a no-action-required Perception check.</blockquote>
