 '''Guessing your Position'''<br>
 Generally, monsters that can't see you will act like they are [[confused]], without the chance of always moving "correctly". However, they have a chance of guessing your position:

 *Prior to [[0.28]], [[Invisibility]] was a spell available to players, which was one of the main ways of getting this status. The status would also give [[magic contamination]] over time, and many more late-game monsters had access to SInv.
 *Prior to [[0.27]], the [[wand of random effects]] could turn you or monsters invisible. Replaced with a [[piece from Xom's chessboard]], which only targets monsters.
