Deitus 12-06-05, 12:43 PM	Hey there This is copied from the Hypertext SRd. Emphasis Mine. Dominate (Su) A vampire can crush an opponent’s will just by looking onto his or her eyes. This is similar to a gaze attack, except that the vampire must use a standard action, and those merely looking at it are not affected. Anyone the vampire targets must succeed on a Will save or fall instantly under the vampire’s influence as though by a dominate person spell (caster level 12th). The ability has a range of 30 feet. Its This line " A vampire can crush an opponent’s will just by looking onto his or her eyes." that has me wondering. from that wording I would think that the effect would work dispite the fact that the V ampire is invisible. I'm asking because I'm getting ready to send the group on CotSQ, and the Invisible vampire will cause some trouble anyway, if the gaze works while Invis, then the group is in for a very rough time.

Deitus 12-06-05, 01:23 PM	Gee maybe I should have looked up Invisible. Thanks for the help Deitus
