Smoking out Invisibility

[terriblyuncreat]

What are the effects of environmental conditions on Invisibility? Would someone who is trying to locate an Invisible target in water or in a smoke-filled area be able to attack them at 1/2 their OCV, or would the Invisibility completely conceal them? Likewise, what would be the effect of the old can-of-paint/bag-of-flour trick? Can a character attempt to cover an Invisible attacker with something in order to locate them and target them normally, or would they still be at 1/2 OCV despite their Invisible opponent being covered with paint and obvious to all?

5ER 192 covers this to some degree (it touches on the paint issue specifically, for instance). Generally you can reveal Invisible characters in the way you describe, but ultimately it's up to the GM to determine the effects, keeping game balance, common sense, and dramatic sense in mind.
