If you find that being attacked even while hidden is a problem, one possible solution would be to use several decoys to obscure your position.  Take several tokens.  Write your character's name on one and decoy on the rest.  When you become hidden, place the tokens in legal spaces face down (so if you didn't take the -5 Stealth penalty, put them within 2 squares of your starting position).  When the DM wants to attack you, he has to pick a token and attack it (unless it has your name on it, the attack automatically misses).  Note that this will probably slow down game play somewhat, if you use steath regularly, so I'd only use it if you feel it's truly a necessity.In 4e, it's generally quite difficult to make yourself effectively invulnerable for an extended period of time.</blockquote>
