D&D 5E (2024) Poll: How good are the new Arcana Unleashed Adept Feats?

[Paul Farquhar]

They also say invisible condition. Hiding grants(stupidly in my opinion) the invisible condition. The invisibility spell grants the invisible condition. Wall of Force doesn't get the invisible condition. It's simply invisible(can't be seen).

Which is not a condition, and is not the same as transparent. It’s cosmetic, no different from the text stating that the wall is blue. Which any competent wizard would do, so as to make the spell actually useful.

It's exactly the same as transparent. As I said, go out and in natural language as 100,1000, or 1 million people if invisible means transparent and see how many tell you it doesn't.

It's not cosmetic, because mechanics like Misty Step key off of it. The wall is invisible, which means that it is NOT visible. There is only 1 way that it can block vision, and that's by being visible and opaque. I reject your argument that invisible = visible.

Probably yes. But optimizers tend to cry foul when the DM uses their own tactics/loopholes against them.

This came up when a player asked about silvery barbs in a spellcaster heavy campaign. I was saying no regardless.
