Invisibility does not, by itself, make a creature immune to critical hits, but it does make the creature immune to extra damage from being a ranger's favored enemy and from sneak attacks.
It is a shame stupidity isn't painful.
Totally true. Historians believe that most past civilizations would have endured for centuries longer if they had successfully determined Batman's alignment.
Why are so many posts on the board the equivalent of " Dear Dr. Crotch, I keep punching myself in the crotch, and my groin hurts... what should I do? How can I make my groin stop hurting?"
I suggest carving "Don't be a dick" into him with a knife. A dull, rusty knife. A dull, rusty, bent, flaming knife.

I don't even stat out commoners. Commoner = corpse that just isn't a zombie. Yet.
When I think "Old Testament Boots of Peace" I think of a paladin curb-stomping an orc and screaming "Your death brings peace to this land!"
Buy a small country. Or Pelor. Both are good investments.
You caught a fish. It was awesome.
The rules are printed in the abilities themselves, such as Sneak Attack. The main point is that things like Sneak Attack can only be used if the target is not under concealment of some sort. So things like Darkness, Blur, and Invisibility throw a wrench in an attacking rogue's plans.

So things like Darkness, Blur, and Invisibility throw a wrench in an attacking rogue's plans. You're right of course. Damn. Well being immune to the extra damage for being a favored enemy is not called out in the favored enemy description anyways. That part is news to me. Not nearly as handy. Ah well.
Well obviously, if you can't tell that creature is your favored enemy, nor discern it's anatomy, you can't use your hatre- i mean, extensive knowledge of the target creature type to get extra damage.

Favoured Enemy damage is not affected by concealment or the like in 3.5 as far as I can tell. In fact the only thing affecting it is, well, if it is your favoured enemy..

Ah, found it, thanks. It appears that both incorporeality and invisibility negate favoured enemy bonuses but plain concealment does not. Sometimes, the 3.5 rules are startlingly inconsistent.
A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.
...thanks
WTF... so Favored Enemy: Undead is useless against all Incorporeal undead? That is pretty lame... and makes no sense. I could at least understand why Invisibility might negate the bonus, per the discussion in this thread.
Incorporeal creatures are immune to critical hits, extra damage from being favoured enemies, and from sneak attacks.
Ah, I think that's just a holdover from 3.0 when favored enemy was considered precision damage. They just forgot to delete it...
