[QUOTE="Rel, post: 1281864, member: 99"] pogre, keep in mind that two other Ogre Mage abilities are perfect to keep the weirdness and deception at a maximum: Invisibility and Darkness at will. If you're using 3.5E then Darkness loses some of its cool factor. But we're still playing 3E so the first thing I tend to do is have the OM drop a Darkness right in the middle of the battlefield. Then she can hop into the darkness for a round and emerge from it in an unexpected direction. Combine this with Invisibility and Gaseous Form and my players not only didn't know where she was for much of the combat, they also didn't know when she had LEFT the combat. If they're fighting on his home turf, he could blanket half the battlefield in Darkness using his knowledge of the terrain to maximum advantage. If you're giving him a couple levels of Sorcerer then he could take Silent Image to have images of himself peeking out of the Darkness areas a few times. Once the PC's have fired off their best spells, then he can engage. Or just observe their tactics to use for another day and then float away in Invisible Gaseous Form. Fun fun! :D [/QUOTE]
