When I am playing BG I usually cast invisibility on my thief and send her ahead to scout things out. As a tactic it works very well. However, it does sometimes feel a bit like cheating and a couple of things bother me about the way invisibility works in the game.
1. Why is it possible to disarm traps while invisible but it is impossible to open a door?
2. Why does invisibility affect skeletons, slimes etc? They don't have eyes so they are not 'seeing' an object in the first place. Surely they should be immune?
Conversely, if my thief is invisible and wearing a Cloak of Non-Detection how does a Drow Mage know to cast a True Sight spell when I go past?. Is their True Sight an innate ability? If so, they shouldn't need to cast a spell? And if it's not, why are they casting the spell?
