Not just anybody can do this, you know. Well, okay, they can if they have this pattern. But otherwise...

Invisible Creature Pattern (+2 CR)

Subtype: add Invisible to subtypes


Invisible Creature indicates a creature that can turn itself greater invisible, which means they are often undetected by all usual senses until they have made an attack (with the benefits of Invisible Attacks, see below). This Pattern can be used to model tribes of phase-shifted orcs, weird half-ghost hybrids, or just a pack of gnolls who got their hands on some alchemical goodies. It is also commonly used to signify a group of monsters who have some form of magical support, perhaps from a creature with the Mage pattern nearby, or some unpleasant alliance with an NPC Wizard with nefarious goals. This pattern can also represent worshippers of a God of Thievery, cultists of Air Elementals, or the soldiers of a powerful Lich.

Invisible Creature is a great Pattern to really keep adventuerers on their toes, and as a result is one of the most commonly used Patterns. There's nothing like a wandering pack of invisible alchemically-treated Skeletons or Zombies to really make things exciting, and an Invisible Dragon is just...scary.

It seems like this dangerous creature can turn itself invisible!

Special Abilities

Invisible Attack (Su; Invisible Creature Pattern)

When an Invisible Creature attacks while Invisible, it gains the normal benefits from doing so, namely, attacks against enemies who can't see them are made with a +2 circumstance bonus to the attack roll, and the attack is made as if the target creature is flat-footed.

Invisible Stealth (Su; Invisible Creature Pattern)

An Invisible Creature gains Greater Invisibility. This means they cannot be seen past 30 feet if they enter a Stealth Stance, plus many other advantages. They may begin any encounter Invisible if they wish. When their Invisibility is broken (such as when they attack), they may re-activate this ability as a swift action once per encounter.
