[QUOTE="Lord Pendragon, post: 63880, member: 707"] You're right. But I still don't see it as imbalanced in any way. Let's face it, this ability allows a rogue to get one sneak attack against one target. In a normal party, a rogue is going to have plenty of opportunities to flank and sneak attack anyway, so the advantage of being able to sneak attack a limited number of times without someone to flank, while nice, is hardly game-breaking. Also, the short duration nullifies nearly any other use of being invisible [i]except[/i] for a sneak attack, since out of combat it lasts less than six seconds. River: this ability is [i]never[/i] better than [i]Improved Invisibility[/i]. Since you reappear each round, your opponents are always going to have a decent idea of where you are, at least within 30', so area effect spells are still a go. Also, because you reappear, you are either going to tell them [i]exactly[/i] where you are (if you cloak, then use it to get a sneak attack,) or they're going to get an AoO against you (if you attack, then use it after and try to move away.) Keep in mind as well that once [i]Improved Invisibility[/i] is cast, the rogue loses no time maintaining the spell. But this spellnote requires a ME action for each disappearance, limiting actions and mobility. [/QUOTE]
