Condition — Invisible

You can't be seen. Your exact location is uncertain to creatures that can't see you.

Mechanical Effects:

• You are Undetected to creatures using sight as their primary sense
• Creatures must guess your square to target you — and then succeed on a DC 11 flat check if they guess correctly
• You can Hide and Sneak without needing cover or concealment
• Your footsteps, breathing, and other non-visual cues may give away your general area (making you Hidden rather than Undetected, at GM discretion)

How Applied:

• Invisibility spell and similar magic
• Some class abilities and feats
• Certain magic items

How Removed:

• Duration expiry
• Attacking or casting offensive spells (some invisibility effects end on hostile action)
• See invisibility, true seeing, or similar magic
• Faerie fire or glitterdust (coats you in visible substance)
• Interacting with the environment in ways that reveal you (footprints in sand, etc.)

Invisible vs. Hidden:

• Invisible is about light not reflecting off you — visual concealment
• Hidden is about location uncertainty — they know your area but not your exact space
• You can be Invisible but still Hidden (if they heard you) or Undetected (if they have no cues)

Tactical Impact: Invisibility is extremely powerful in PF2e. Creatures must guess your square (potentially multiple squares to check) and succeed on a DC 11 flat check. Combined with Sneak to remain Undetected, an invisible character can reposition freely. Blindsense, tremorsense, and scent are the main counters.
