Invisibility and Defense Maneuver

[Starhawk]

If a character has defense maneuver 4, how is his DCV effected when attacked by an invisible character? Am I interpreting the FAQ correctly that he gets full DCV regardless if he makes a non-targeting perception roll or not...

Defense Maneuver IV prevents a character from being subject to Multiple Attacker Bonuses, and from having any attack be considered to be "from behind," regardless of whether he can perceive his attackers. It also allows him to consider his DCV Levels "Persistent." It doesn't affect the penalties for being unable to perceive an Invisible opponent, so the character's DCV would be the same as it would normally be for being attacked by an Invisible person. The Invisible person cannot, however, get any further bonuses for attacking from behind (assuming the GM would bother to grant any anyway).
