Then come back later on after healing and try again. It can then, on any following round, sacrifice it's attacks to hide and prevent all attacks against it by hiding.īasically, as long as it's alive on its turn, it can always try and hide then run away. But after its first attack, they know where it is and can attack it, albeit at disadvantage because of invisibility. You always know where Invisible creatures are unless they take an action to make a stealth check to hide. What do I need to know about invisible stalker as a DM?That they can pinpoint it just fine when it's not hidden. They could try hitting different sqares with disatvantage, but that's about it. I intend to throw one of these beasties vs my lvl 7 (4 members) group and the way I see it, they have no chance of pinpointing it. Of course, you'd have to drop hints prior to the encounter that that was an option. Invisible Stalkers have a relatively low damage output, so that might well be possible. What could be interesting is if they get attacked but are relatively close to the summoner, so they have to fend it off while racing to the summoner's location. If it has, they might be able to convince the summoner to call it off. If it's not actually been tasked with killing the party, there may be a way they could avoid or flee from it.

I guess the main things to remember is that characters can feel it going past them (so I would let any character within 5 feet of it know the location) and that it has an objective to pursue. If they can defend a bottleneck, they'll be able to know where it is without having to see it. The Stalker has a good dex save, but no resistance to the elements so things like Fireball will definitely hurt it. In a straight fight, your party would be best advised to use area control and area effect abilities. It can't be grappled - the stat block lists it as an explicit immunity, probably because the thing is made out of air. I'm assuming none of your party knows See Invisibility (which reveals the creature's location and therefore allows them to make attacks).
