To be honest so far in the campaign she's only had a few moments of notable conversation. The player is missing a lot and the character is still a bit reserved at this point. I'm not dissing btw, some characters take time to warm up to the group instead of instantly being talkative, several of mine have taken a while.

I don't think being invisible in water should give you disadvantage for stealth. Yeah you displace the water, but displaced water is still more difficult to spot than somebody trying to stealth through it normally. If anything it should give a bonus to stealth by making the check easier.

[@gengar618]

As I watch this episode I realize, the combat with the ghosts should have never happened. Mark made Rhi roll with disadvantage even though she was invisible. She should have had just a normal flat roll because the advantage and disadvantage should’ve cancelled each other out, thus her roll would have instead been the initial 23

[@seraphlord]

Come on guys, Read your spells before you cast them or remember what they do. Invisible gives you advantage on stealth so with the disadvantage of the water that should have been a straight roll which would make Rhiannon's the 23 she rolled first. That combat with the ghosts shouldn't have triggered that way. :(

[@ChronoBolt]

While you are correct about what invisibility does, the spells description just says that the affected creature is invisible for the duration. You have to go digging for what that means. And even then, the advantage is only on checks made to not be seen. You'd have to couple it with something like pass without trace, or boots of the elvenkind to be completely undetectable

[@seraphlord]

@@ChronoBolt i feel like you didn't even read my comment... i never said invisible makes you undetectable.... i said it gives you advantage on stealth rolls

[@ChronoBolt]

But only to not be seen. If you're say, clanking around in heavy plate, or pushing your way against the current of a river, you're gonna make noise. On top of that, invisibility as a condition is very situational. I personally feel mark made the correct ruling, because there would in fact be a big person-shaped divot in the water, effectively making the invisibility pointless unless the invisible person(s) hides underwater

[@seraphlord]

@@ChronoBolt so you are telling me a void in the water the size of a persons neck (because if shes being stealthy only her head should be above water) is easier to see than a persons head and the outline of their whole body underwater? I'm guessing you never played Marco Polo as a kid because its pretty damn easy to move slowly through water and not make any noise thus the reason you have to shout polo in response to the seeker so they have a chance to find anyone... She wasn't moving full force, she wasn't wearing heavy armor and she wasn't fighting a current the water was stagnant. It's Mark's game if he wants to say the water gives disadvantage fine, even though I don't agree but the invisible would still apply against being seen and make the roll flat. Still less likely to be seen than not being invisible and "more likely" to be heard from splashing in water. aka a flat roll.
