Pathfinder: "Invisible Character Pack" [RPG]

About a decade ago, under its GameMastery line of game aids, Paizo came out with the Invisible Character Pack.  The premise is that it'd be ideal for GMs and players to be able to tell at a glance if a character or monster were under the effects of an invisibility spell.  I'd always just placed a transparent dice case over the associated mini, but a different solution is presented here.  Frankly, it's a bit bizarre.  The Invisible Character Pack consists of a small baggy containing very thin, transparent, completely flat plastic tokens intended to represent most fantasy archetypes: there's a couple of halfling/gnome rogues with daggers, an archer, a wizard with a spellbook, a fighter with sword and shield, a dwarf warrior with a hammer, a cleric holding a holy symbol aloft, and so forth.  Two enemies are also included, which the packaging describes as a "Demon-kin" and a "Dragon-kin."  Because the tokens are flat, standing them up requires using some sort of adhesive to attach them to the included thin plastic bases.  Acrylic cement is recommended, though for ease of storage and assembly/disassembly, I just use Blu-tak.

I've tried these out a few times in games when someone has turned invisible.  They create a bit of a delay while the player tries to pick one that most closely represents their PC, but then they work okay afterwards.  I'm not convinced they're really worth the trouble, however.  I'll probably keep using them occasionally just because I have them, but I can't really recommend them.
