In theory, no, since those goggles are technically mechanical and Imp
Invis is a physical bending of light, therefore the goggles won't pick the
person up. HOwever, thermo is also technically supposed to see through the
invis spells.. So. In the end, it would be GM's opinion. I personally
would rule it depending on how many success the caster got on his spell
roll. Either base it on the more success, the better hidden you are or use
the # of succ as the TN for a roll by the rating of the equipment.
Ever lovable and always scrappy,
