[QUOTE="Selas, post: 9638816, member: 7047454"] That is because the Invisible condition is descriptive, not prescriptive. It describes the effects of being unseen, it doesn’t make you unseen. The feature that grants you the condition is what determines whether you are unseen or not, and how you lose it. This is a point some have tried to make in the past, but people continue to get hung up on "Invisible condition doesn't say you're invisible=you can be seen". Well, as an example, the Poisoned condition doesn't say that you're poisoned, so does that mean that you are not? Yet people automatically assume that the Poisoned condition means you're poisoned. So if it works for one, why can't people do the same with the other? Because one is clearly understood (poisoned) while the other has different interpretations depending on the context. It doesn't help that in 2014 the term "Invisible" was gamified, so people are unable to accept that it no longer means what it used to. [/QUOTE]
