[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 155456, member: 2209"] From the srd on true strike The character gains temporary, intuitive insight into the immediate future during the character's next attack. The character's next single attack roll (within the duration of the spell) gains a +20 insight bonus. Additionally, the character is not affected by the miss chance that applies to attacks against a concealed target. From a rules interpretation perspective it gives a +20 insight bonus and reduces the miss chances for concealment. The people are still concealed and it does not reveal them. The miss chance is only a single game mechanic aspect of being concealed. Anything else is extrapolating out on how people think it should work, such as hong's zen true strike or KD's miss chance of concealment = concealment. From the flavor text of what it is doing, I would not interpret it as aquiring targets. Getting a glimpse of the future will not reveal the motionless silent invisible person observing in the corner. All TS will do is make it much more likely if you do shoot into that corner that you will hit that motionless invisible silent person. There could be a low level divination that allowed you to see invisible opponents for one attack so you could attack one knowing where it is and without the miss chances, but I do not believe that True strike does this.
