[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 9589558, member: 22779"] See, the problem that I think occurs is because they've reused the term "invisible" which old time gamers like myself interpret through the lens of how invisibility was defined in days of yore. Remember, being invisible in 5e doesn't mean they don't know where you are. It just means they cannot see you. It's not like the old "invisibility" spell where you completely vanish from sight. It just means you are not able to be directly seen at this moment. So, YES, they can target you, presuming that there is some logical, in game reason for them to have a general idea of where you are. They have disadvantage to hit you, true, but, they can still attack you. I'm playing a halfing right now. That means I can hide any time I move through a larger character's space. But, the baddies still know I'm there. They haven't suddenly suffered a stroke and completely erase me from their memory. Which means they could attack me while I'm hidden. They have a pretty good idea where I am. So, disadvantage on the attack and I can't be targeted by spells that require sight. Seems pretty reasonable to me.
