Equipping an Invisible Stalker
As the title says, is it possible to equip an invisible stalker with magic items?
I found a thread on the minmax forums that said no because they are amorphous and therefore do not get slots, but the SRD does not say they are.
And how would any worn items interact with his innate invisibility?
Also what about his Tempest boss?
Side Question: what sort of items should I give him, just follow a rogue guide?

Re: Equipping an Invisible Stalker
This looks like another job for the Sculpted hallow/unhallow acorn of far travel hack. Have greater/superior invisibility as one of the spells that affect the holder of the acorn, and all of its items will be as invisible as it is.
Its master can have one, too.
It gives both of them lots of at-will and permanent buff spells (and powers) to give itself, with no action cost.Last edited by MaxiDuRaritry; 2021-10-23 at 09:27 PM.

Re: Equipping an Invisible Stalker
I think you take the "Considered under the oak tree's canopy" clause incorrectly. It doesn't say anything about you gaining the benefits of any spells in the area, and if we took your interpretation of that the way you do, if someone started spamming fireball under the tree, you'd die pretty quickly, which is definitely not how that spell works.
It is more that the acorn itself becomes an extension of the oak tree, a connection to it, rather than a shrodinger's cat situation where you are considered to be in two locations at once. More akin to you taking the oak tree's canopy with you, rather than being in two places.Last edited by Crake; 2021-10-23 at 11:55 PM.

Re: Equipping an Invisible Stalker
Actually the SRD does use the phrase "amorphous"
https://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/...bleStalker.htm
Invisible stalkers have an amorphous form. A see invisibility spell shows only a dim outline of a cloud, while a true seeing spell reveals a roiling cloud of vapor.Marut-2 Avatar by Serpentine

The SRD description says:

Re: Equipping an Invisible Stalker
Regardless of DM ruling, slotless items should be fine, as should psychoactive skins, since they, while actually slotless, have a 'virtual slot' they take up, since you can only wear three at a time.
I'd suggest a psychoactive skin of proteus, since it's definitely the best, but that would kind of negate being an invisible stalker.⚣ Tanuki in the Playground. ⚣

Re: Equipping an Invisible Stalker
But items that aren't worn, such as held items and ioun stones, should be fine regardless. And since items only cost more if they are moved from "slotted" to "slotless" or change body slot, any slotless item should be craftable as an ioun stone or as a held item with zero change in cost, so just do that.

Re: Equipping an Invisible Stalker
Note: Armor For Unusual Creatures includes "Nonhumanoid" header - shouldn't it allow to use armor by Invisible Stalker?
(Also, I always thought Invisible Stalker is Humanoid-shaped - like Rules Cyclopedia said it: "An invisible stalker is a magical humanlike monster ...")

Re: Equipping an Invisible Stalker
their natural invisibility does not carry over to their items I assume?

Re: Equipping an Invisible Stalker
Hmm, but it does have a Con score. So Incarnum should be fine.
