Agreed that is you're running mythic, you have absolutely no excuse for running 3-4 encounters per day and expecting the PCs to be challenged. I rarely run that low a number in non-mythic games, for that matter.

Did we ever get a FAQ clarification to the question posed by this thread?

No, but we did get a designer comment from Stephen Radney-Macfarland, and since Jason Buhlman hasn't asked him to remove it, we can treat it as designer intent, which is the next-best thing to an FAQ response.


So The myrmidon in the Inner Sea Bestiary has an ability called superior optics. Essentially it seems to ignore the invisibility effect, rather than attempting to detect. We in our group say it can see people with the undetectable ability. Any comments on this?

It's your group, you can do whatever you want. On my table, I wouldn't allow it.

I can't seem to find the response from Stephen Radney-Macfarland, so I assume it now has been removed. Huh. I really wish the designers would clarify some of the confusing points in their game system before some other upstart company comes along and pulls a Paizo on them.

Also I run this so that the user is completely undetectable,no footprints, no water displacement, no swirls in the fog, nothing.

Now if caught in a invisibility purge, area dispel, a glitterdust or any other effect that explicitly removes invisibility, they lose their undetectablity until they become invisible again.

With my current group of 5 being level 7 tier 3 this is not even in the top 10 powers available to them. This is just my opinion and YMMV of course.

Hope my anecdote helps.


A friend of mine pointed out the fact that even though you are undetecable, your gear might still be detectable. My friend is playing a Drow Noble (I know the race is OP in the first place with a whole bunch of BS abilities but thats not the point) and his race has a constant detect magic. He was saying that even though I "the creature" is undetectable, my gear, does not fall under the category under undetecteable. How do you guys feel about this argument? Sorry for the long post.
