See invisible is one of the pan lords' random properties, and none are given out in their description.

That's wrong -- all other properties are in their description. So is see inv for any other monster.

Oops, my bad - should've really checked.

Actually, this might be a regression. I was under the impression the random properties are hidden, and looking at code and commit messages, it looks like this is the intention & there was no intentional change.

Unassigning from self due to lack of time.

This is a bug, but we can question if hiding this information is worth the complications. With ghosts, it's easy to spoil yourself. And I'm wondering if it'd make for more interesting gameplay if you could check the pan lords' resistances via xv, instead of being unsure about them. And you probably smack them with lots of unresistable damage anyway..

Fixed, for consistency. All resistances should behave the same.

I'm not opposed to showing them only once the monster in question resisted an attack by the given element, although that'd require some actual coding effort.
