No, you can just accurately tell where they are, because oyu have excellent hearing. Thus, if you so chose, you could hit them with reasonable accuracy, especially if you're trained in fighting without relying on your eyesight. (Blindfighting)
<Sili> I've seen septic tanks with less shit in them than Fuzz.

<Ronnin> damm not even a kiss??
<Chasmania> Kiss Fuzz? I'd rather fellate a goat.

actualy Liartes is correct. the NWN game engine allows you to see a ghostly image of teh person when you hear them. that doesn't mean that you actually "see" them. the ghostly image is just a placeholder for you to know where you heard them

I guess I should be clearer in my description that there would be a "universal" ghost/shadow form that would identify the person who you hear with a label that isn't their name. I do realize there is a ghostly form, I have already encountered this exact scenario.

Recently ran into another issue with Invisibility. How do we deal with the Silencing part of an Invisibility spell? Can you hear the Invisible person yell "Trap!"?
