I just finished Tymora's Luck. In this book, Emilo Haversack is granted the power not to be noticed (except from people from his homeworld), as long as he hasn't introduced himself first. It's not that he is invisible, people are just not seeing him. I was wondering if there was a similar feat in any edition, or at least one that would make someone so unremarkable that people would not notice them in particular unless they are actively looking for that person.
3e had an Epic Prestige Class called the Void Incarnate the gained the Extraordinary ability:
quote:Void Presence (Ex): Opponents of a void incarnate unconsciously ignore the void incarnate's presence starting at 3rd level. They are always treated as flat-footed to the void incarnate (and thus may not apply their Dexterity modifier to AC). This lasts until the void incarnate attacks the opponent, but resumes again at the start of the void incarnate's next turn. This is a mind-affecting effect.
You can also use Bluff to create a diversion to hide as a move-equivalent action, rather than as a standard action.
This ability has an interesting side effect. Anyone attempting to use Gather Information or similar methods to learn about a void incarnate finds the task very difficult. Increase the DC of such tasks by 20 plus the target's void incarnate class level.
That's what comes to mind immediately. They gain other similar abilities, like at first level Detect spells like Detect Magic or Alignment turn up nothing.
