[QUOTE="(Psi)SeveredHead, post: 6167354, member: 1165"] I don't think that matters much. Buffs are common in 3rd Edition, and many buffs are "invisible" if no one sees you cast it (eg any stat buff, Protection from Elements, etc). You could get caught in an area dispel because someone is worried about an invisible ally. An ally might cast Haste on you and in an effort to strip off your Haste (because your opponent doesn't know Slow) could also get your permanent spells. (I think that's more likely to happen if you're a warrior than a caster.) The Ring of Counterspells (with a loaded Dispel Magic) certainly helps reduce the possible panic, but it doesn't work on Greater Dispel Magic. I'd be leery of treating Permanency as "anything goes"; that's like Persistent Spell but even more powerful. (I'm pretty sure you can't make Haste persistent, but if you could it would be an 8th-level spell that couldn't be cast before 15th-level, and IMO that would still be overpowered.) [/QUOTE]
