[QUOTE="Imban, post: 4128891, member: 29206"] This one is actually pretty weird, and I would suggest doesn't scale at all, actually. +4 to Strength is a carrying capacity modifier, which you may or may not care about, a +2 to hit which scales perfectly with level, and a +2 or +3 to damage, which is useful at all levels but does not scale with level. The problem is that, assuming you're talking about Bull's Strength, it's an enhancement bonus and so can't stack with the belts of strength everyone wears. Whoops. On the topic, Mirror Image sucks and I'd need to rewrite it before I'd feel comfortable playing with it. The designers may think patent nonsense is better than the tiny bit of extra math, for instance, required to implement the "if it hits your image" solution, but I definitely feel otherwise. Fly is still awesome assuming flight still lets you rain down death on your foes, which I will because the alternative is one of those "WotC are monkeys" things. Greater Invisibility is kinda questionable - if that's Greater, what the heck is normal invisibility? Displacement, on the other hand, is actually pretty quality mechanically, though the flavor provided for it is a bit questionable, for reasons detailed extensively on this thread already. If anything, I'd just swap out the flavor, which is the easiest of things. [/QUOTE]
