Does a Cloak of Displacement or Blur spell work underwater?


Rules Questions


Pathfinder Adventure Path, Rulebook Subscriber

I'm playing a rogue in the "Ruins of Azlant" campaign and was interested in trying to use the "Moonlight Stalker" feats with either a blur spell or a Cloak of Displacement.

I already know the rules concerning using invisibility underwater,

"Invisibility: An invisible creature displaces water and leaves a visible, body-shaped “bubble” where the water was displaced. The creature still has concealment (20% miss chance), but not total concealment (50% miss chance)."

but do blur and displacement still work? Or do they still offer concealment? Will I be able to benefit from the "Moonlight Stalker" feats.

I don't want to spend a bunch of feats in something that may be useless for a big part of the campaign.

Thanks in advance


Blur should work. I could see an argument for Displacement not working, but I think by RAW it works.

Honestly there should be a spell called "Underwater Invisibility", or even just have this option available when you cast Onvisibility.

May I present Invisibility Bubble.

Could you cast invisiblity and invsibility bubble on the same target?

I don't see why not? I don't think it'd be super helpful though.

Essentially the glamour from Invisibility Bubble seems to envelop the glamour from Invisibility, so it'd be exactly the same as casting just Invisibility Bubble unless someone pokes their head into the bubble to see who's in there.

That's when I was thinking about it actually if they stick their head in they see you its nom, nom, nom. If they stick their head in and your invisible they need to notice the water displacement and if your very still maybe they'll just think its an odd effect rather than a person. At the very least you have invisibility covering your first move.
