• For anything that just checks you.visible_to(monster), it's as strong as see invisible.
• Monsters with “sense invisible” have a better chance of noticing stealthy players than those with “see invisible”.
• “sense invisible” has some effect on a monster guessing an invisible foe's position: Without, it guesses within radius 2 around itself, with within radius 3.

• An effect on beam targeting fuzz
• Friendly summons with Sense Invisible are helpless against Unseen horror.
