Hello,
I wish to know, does the Silence spell with invis makes you undetectable without mind-reading/tremor sense etc?
If it's a FOIG tell me, but I think we should know this, as the spells purpose is to make the area around the caster silent.
(There is a save check, as far as I recall. I refer to the situation where the victim failed it)
Thank you,
alogen

As it stands now, if you can detect someone using in-game mechanics, you can tell that they are there. So, it's sort of a find out in game thing. If someone still notices you despite your silence spell, they notice you.
Also, it might make you a lot MORE obvious, since people in your close vicinity would suddenly not hear any noise at all, and not be able to make any noise. Seems pretty suspicious!

My intention was, firstly, in matters of monsters.
Will they be able to know where I stand at, mechanic wise?
As for characters, well, if a character cannot move silently, then the other players will obviously hear my character due to the invisibility's effects (sounds of wind-like). So casting the Silence spell will indicate of an invisible someone's presence, but they could not find him by eyes or ears. (Other words: Unless they stumble upon him, see a door opened etc. they could not know where he stands at)
Also, I think it made my figure some exploitable bug, who should I turn to?
(I reported it once, but now I figured another use of it)

Mechanics-wise, you should find out in game whether that combination works.
If you have an exploitable bug, please send it to the DM e-mail at escapefromunderdark@gmail.com

If you cast it on yourself, as I believe you'd want to be doing in this instance, others receive no save.

Is there no some circle around the target?

What MadCaddies just said is that if you cast it on yourself, the people within the circle that forms around you receive no save. If you cast it on someone else as the target, they receive a save.
