    First time using d20, love it so far. I want to populate a dungeon in advance, and reveal as my players go through what is upcoming. The issue I am running into is when they encounter the first group of monsters and combat starts, initiate is ran for all monsters. It kinda lets them know whats upcoming when it says "black dragons turn." I am using the trial. so its 3.5 right now, how can I fix this?

    Thanks!

    If the monster is Invisible, the monster will not appear in the Active Roster and will not alert the players when it's their turn. Simply tell your players to "hold a moment" and move the monster (the monster's name and movement will not be recorded in the Player's Game Log - it will display on the Judge's Game Log).

    wont that still cause me to mash space bar over the invis initiative? Is there no way to not have them in combat period?
