Since Displacement is an illusion-glamer, does glitterdust negate the miss chance displacement offers?
I'd say so. Displacement being Illusion (Glamer) doesn't directly play into it, but it says "the subject of this spell appears to be about 2 feet away from its true location", meaning the actual creature is invisible.
No. Displacement does not actually offer concealment, which is what Glitterdust negates. Displacement has a miss chance similar to concealment, but is explicitly not concealment.
Nope, Glitterdust only affects invisibility. Not any other concealment or concealment like effects.
Whatever light-bending shenaningans Displacement is doing with your body probably has the same effect on the glittering motes of Glitterdust i.e. they appear to be where you are not.
Think of Displacement as a magical Mirage, inwhich its altering the perception of location. Gliterdust is outlining creatures to make them easier to see, this would not stop a mirage as the dust too would apear shifted as well. Also it specifically says highlights Invisible creatures, and hampers stealth, not cover which is what displacement gives.
Appreciate all the feedback. My table was flumuxed. This helps.
Glitterdust does nothing to general concealment or miss chance effects. It affects invisible creatures because it says so. Since displacement isn't invisibility, glitterdust does nothing.
It "should", but it doesn't.
If you imagine Displacement as an improved version of Blur, like a very big blur, so blurry that you can't identify where the subject is in the 5ft square, you can only pin-point it, then the dust would get all burry as well and would not help you avoid the miss chance.
If you imagine Displacement as the description, like an ilusion of you, like a single mirror image copy, that stands about 2ft away from you, and the real you is invisible, then the glitterdust would cover your image AND you and it "should" reveal where you are... but it doesnt.
Just intepret Displacement not as an illusion, but as as a spell that bends light and shows you slightly where you are not, as if someone is looking at your reflection at a mirror and the mirror is shaking.
But I wonder, does Glitterdust shines in the dark, non-magical dark, that is?
