Since a person who is invisible cannot be seen, can their evil aura be detected by detect evil?

Yes. First round, you would detect the presence of evil within the area. However, it takes three rounds of concentration to pin-point a source -- assuming that the source doesn't keep moving -- so it isn't a good way to defend against an invisible opponent. However, it can alert you to their presense.

Thanks,

Brett
