[QUOTE="LokiDR, post: 979296, member: 6239"] I have been on both sides of this equasion, so I know what you mean. 5' tunnels. If you can't get into flanking posisitons, you can't be flanked. Corners might work as well. Remember, he can not flank an opponent who has his rogue level -3 or more levels in a class that gives uncanny dodge (and has the "can't be flanked" ability). In other words, if he is a rogue/DD of 7/2, he can not flank a 6th level rogue or 5th level barbarian. Add those levels to something low CR with high speed, and you should get around the flanking. There are some monsters, but none I can think of at low levels. Robe of eyes stops flanking as well, but I think it would be too expensive. Yes, he sees invisible creatures if they are in range, standing still or not. That is the point of the ability. He does not see through hiding or etheral. Given he probably has a good spot check, go with etheral. Phase spiders should be effective, given his low fort save. The ability is not always on, as it has specific rules for activation (standard action) and duration (10 min). However, it does not say how often it can be activated. There is no help in the FAQ or errata. Because of the open-ended nature, you are well within your rights to say "usable once per day", which should keep the problem down. Blindsight gets through invis, so skip that. Etheral is not detectable. Phase spiders, etheral filcher, and etheral maurauder would all be a decent choice for undectecable. Hiding is not automatically spotted, so you might want to create an assassin. If you want to go for the sorcerer kill, try improved invis on a flying sorcerer, staying 45 feet up. Polymorph or Phantasmal Kill should both have a good shot at taking him down. Or just magic missle him to a smoking heap. The key is hide skill, etheral, or invis out of range of his blindsight.
