How would you detect this?

[quick_comment]

Hexblade/Crusader/Cleric/Ruby Knight Vindicator

Has darkstalker, dark template, mettle and can cast spell immunity: faerie fire. Glitterdust is negated by mettle.

The RKV uses stalker in the night to attack while hidden, the dark template to hide in plain sight, and is immune to faerie fire. Glitterdust needs a very high DC to affect him.

You can of course make spot checks, but if he optimizes for stealth (greater shadow armor, max ranks, high dex), that is unlikely to work.

Any other methods?

Touchsight. Doesn't really last all that long, but it'll help.

Alternatevly, tremorsense.

[Hat-Trick]

Detect Thoughts? Detect Magic? Detect Alignment? Daylight might do something.

[AstralFire]

Persistent Power (from Hyperconscious) plus Touchsight.

[Djinn_in_Tonic]

Scent. Tremorsense. Blindsight. Detect Thoughts. Detect Alignment. Detect Magic. A Shujenja's Detect Element ability. Scrying?

[Hat-Trick]

Prying Eyes for additional spot checks.

[Yora]

I'm not familiar with that build but what about a thorch or a lantern?

[Adumbration]

Mindsight.

[AmberVael]

Lifesense. Glowing like a torch isn't very conducive to hiding, after all.

[Fishy]

Does Darkstalker hide you from Lifesense like it hides from Tremorsense and Mindsense?

I dunno, Scent?

[Zaq]

Simple. A high Spot check. (Yes, a REALLY damn high one, but that's all it takes.)

[Satyr]

Just cover the floor with lots of flour. You will probably not be able to see, but his footprints and where he stands. Thin smoke is also a good way to see anything invisible. It's there were a humanoid shape appears in the smoke.

[ImmortalAer]

Scent. Tremorsense. Blindsight. Detect Thoughts. Detect Alignment. Detect Magic. A Shujenja's Detect Element ability. Scrying?

! You've been caught !

...See? That's how hard it is to spot invisible people. (Or mechanically invisible people.)

[jokey665]

I'm not exactly familiar with everything being used but maybe one of these: 1. a bag of flour. 2. create water.

Maybe?

[Worira]

I don't think Mettle actually works on Glitterdust. It's not that it produces a lesser effect on a save, it's that it produces two completely separate effects, one which allows a saving throw and one which doesn't.

[Telonius]

Spread sand or snow in the area, follow the footprints.

Improvised splash weapons: jug of tar and feather pillow.

[ImmortalAer]

I would go with the Belkar Effect. Light the room on fire. If it's still hiding, it won't be when you close the door behind you.

[Zeful]

Lifesense (Su)

A dread wraith notices and locates living creatures within 60 feet, just as if it possessed the blindsight ability. It also senses the strength of their life force automatically, as if it had cast deathwatch.

Does Darkstalker negate Blindsight and deathwatch?

[Worira]

He means the Lifesense feat from Libris Mortis, I think.

[Hat-Trick]

Alarm? Anything Tiny or larger sets off loud noises or a mental "ting!"

[Zeful]

He means the Lifesense feat from Libris Mortis, I think.

Then Fishy and Vael should have specified so.

[AmberVael]

Does Darkstalker hide you from Lifesense like it hides from Tremorsense and Mindsense?

I dunno, Scent?

Darkstalker does not hide from Lifesense or Mindsense. It hides from blindsense, blindsight, scent, and tremorsense.

^: Also, I wasn't aware that there was a monster specific Lifesense. I am more proficient with character creation aspects, not monsters.

[Zeful]

And I had no idea there was a character version of Lifesense, as I'm only familiar with material in the few books I own.

We both learned something today.

[Signmaker]

I second the Create Water idea. An endless decanter might do the trick, unless they happen to fly.

"Firehose" mode should light him up pretty quick.

[Belial_the_Leveler]

Make it rain with control weather or similar. Ever seen Invisible Man and Daredevil?

Blinding Glory. Here goes your shadowmeld.

[Triaxx]

Fireball. Web. Stinking Cloud/Cloudkill. Darkness. Black Tentacles. Solid Fog. Ice Storm. True Seeing.

Combinations of the above are particularly useful. Black Tentacles and Web hold it still for Ice Storm and Cloudkill. Solid fog does the same for Fireball.

I think we all learned something today.

[wadledo]

I didn't.

You guys are getting too crazy and exotic. Widened Alarm. Go no further. My 6th level Wizard typically lays down 2-4 alarm spells at strategic chokepoints (we sleep in defensible locations whenever possible - caves, cliffsides, riversides, hilltops) and we still keep a watch.

An Alarm or Extended Alarm cast at the mouth of a cave would really ruin this dudes day. All that stealth optimizing owned by a second level spell slot.
