Hmm,... I've always just agreed with my GM on this one
(Mike, Smilin' Jack). But now I'm starting to wonder. I re-read
the spell description before responding to this. The spell
invisibility says that it "makes the subject invisible to normal
vision." So, does that mean that a dwarf or troll can see an
invisible person with thermo?

Improved invisibility "affects technological sensors as well."

I'm up in the air about this now. Define "normal vision." If
thermo is not considered normal, then I don't know why a
sensor with themo wouldn't pick up someone who was under
an improved invisibility spell.
