I dinna have Facebook. But I check in frequently here.

I do have a general question about the efficacy of Invisibility versus high tech. It's nothing that would affect my behavior IC until and unless Silhouette learns of it, but just for my own understanding...what sort of tech will detect a character made invisible via magic?

As far as I can tell, only the IR sensors will allow for the detection of invisibility. There is also UV sensors, which is good for underwater fights. The digital binoculars has a light amplification setting that acts like low-light vision. EM sensors are useful for detecting powered devices. So, if Silhouette doesn't carry any powered items on herself, EM sensors won't detect her when she's invisible (despite that the item's description says it detects bioelectric energy). She would have to worry about it when hiding and NOT invisible, however.

Shaz, Rodan, and Yin Hun's equipment would light up like Christmas trees unless they have the proper EM countermeasures. Yin Hun, less so, since his armor got wiped out by the High Artificer. That's the thing to remember. Magic can wreck high-tech gear. A Shatter spell will mess with sensors and delicate electronics.

Also, as a roleplaying hook, Silhouette will clearly be very interested in learning to use and acquiring this strange new 'magic' for herself. She has some advantages in doing so, being as intelligent as a wizard, but with greater ability to wield weapons and wear armor. What's involved in exploring this technology, mechanically?

There is something called a dampsuit that would be good for her. It mutes sound around the wearer. Since you say she's very curious about these things, I'm going to say she had a chance to 'lift' the hobgoblin's personal datapad (and/or his pack) before he died. Sleight of Hand check (DC 20/30 for the pack).

Plus, there are Imperial magic spells that she might be able to learn, eventually.

Ah, that explains a lot. We'll struggle through it together and make the best of it!

Okay, so IR is not 'infrared?'

It's Blindsight...with a 3 mile range?

As far as I know, there's no magical effect that defeats Blindsight, sadly. Though from what you're saying, a Zone of Silence might help...

The Starfarer's Handbook calls it infrared but then it says it works like blindsight. I guess the designers wanted to make it simple rather than come up new complexities for the game. There might be something in the d20 Modern game that is more detailed, but I'd rather just say it is an advanced form of blindsight.

And, yes, I'd say a zone of silence would work perfectly to defeat Dragonstar IR. An excellent thought. Of course, Sil wouldn't really know that, yet.

Nope! But figuring that sort of thing out would be very high on her list of priorities, since being unseen has always been her first line of defense.

Hopefully some of our technically minded PCs will have access to that sort of system, so she can experiment and see what works. Montage sequence!

Ah, and Sleight of Hand: [roll0]

Ah, would that I spent points on that.

Infrared goggles or infrared sensors to see invisibility as the only sensors I can find are the IR they must be synonymous

IR identical in all ways to Blindsight except the target must be warm undead and constructs would likely be unaffected as it relies on heat asper written description so suppressing sound would most likely not be effective they do make a Intrusion suit for that use

and wearing armor when your orders say your about to have imperials come in in dropships any minute
and your in a place everyone is gone armor I think armor kind of a priority

I am not looking for a individual but a cumulative reading

 

[epogue]

blind sight in that it can see through cover

 

[epogue]

but your ruleing is in un contested

 

[epogue]

Intrusion suit that cloaks IR so it is dampen sound so it adds to bonus to move silently? .
