Why do so many DMs use the wrong rules for invisibility?

[QUOTE="ThePolarBear, post: 7022686, member: 6857451"] YOU might not give two figs, but the quote you posted does not start the way it starts and since YOU commented on "what are the rules for invisibility" YOU should give at least a couple of figs on what are the rules for invsibility IN FULL. The part regarding invisible creatures i commented on specifically refers to "an invisible creature can always try to hide", and that IS connected to the rest of the rules regarding hiding - like the one that states its the DM that allows you to hide or not in the first place. Posted as "this are all the rules" and missing half of them while also getting some of them from outdated material is not the way to provide "all" the rules correctly. The post is about the rules governing invisibility and invisibility changes the way the rules for hiding work. Those should be quoted for reference, bolding the part about invisibility. You missed that part, and i'm commenting on this. I've not quoted the part for the blinded condition, stop editing my quotes. I've quoted till "Someone in darkness is effectively blinded" and stopped there. That part has been changed and it should not be quoted as such since it's no longer like that. Again, provide the rules. Example: [URL]http://media.wizards.com/2016/downloads/DND/PH-Errata.pdf[/URL] , First page, "Adventuring" section, "Vision and Light" - normally found on p183 of the PHB. You might have quoted the blindness condition. You still wrote something that's no longer correct. Edit: and you asked to reply if someone had something to add. I did. If you really want to provide "all" the rules, provide them and also create a bibliography so people can go and check that what you quoted is actually what is in the material. You should also provide the instances where is described the default assumption of detection and awareness both in combat and out of combat since those are relevant to invisibility and you are providing how invisibility interacts with said rules without quoting them.
