After this issue was brought up yesterday, I went to Unrest to do some
testing. I'm a 22d level bard with my Wind skill maxed out. I started
singing the invisibility song and walked throughout Unrest conning
everything I saw. In the yard, death beetles, jack-o-lanterns, and
tormented dead all conned indifferently to me. Didn't get the chance to try
it against a greater skeleton though so don't know about them. I can kill
them easily so not too concerned about them. Inside on the 1st floor, every
ghoul I ran into conned indifferent. I walked by a lesser mummy and it
attacked me so they are the first thing that saw through the invisibility.
Carrion ghouls conned ready to attack. Didn't get the chance to test it
against dark and dry bone skeletons, werebats, or anything tougher. If
anyone has confirmed successes against the tougher creatures then please
post it. Specifically, if someone higher than 22d level can confirm that
the invisibility song works against carrion ghouls for them that would give
credence to the theory that the higher level you are has a direct
correlation on what mobs can see through the invisibility song.
Thanks
