Just below genius level. They also have a wisdom of 11, so at least "average person" levels. So... why would they ran past the party as a hoard of rats? They could set a trap. They could have one or two scouts following the party. Hearing a single rat in the walls would takr Holmsian levels of deduction to turn into "a swarm of cranium rats", especially if they never saw them. I'm not saying it would be fair to the party to give them no clues as to what happened to them, or why during the final fight they have to keep making saves to avoid "Command" from the swarm that is hiding under the floor boards, forcing them to grovel or drop their weapons. But it does 100% fit into what they are, and what they can do. If I am fighting giants who can crush me with a single blow, (ie, I am a rat) I take full advantage of them not being able to reach me. Of my stealth, of the fact they aren't going to pay attention to a single rat in a dungeon, of living with normal stupid rats to hide my presence.I'm sorry, what out-of-town wizardly type? I could look like anything. I could be anyone. But, your reference of the Sorcerer really does highlight the problem. Sorcerers can't do this for every single spell. Well, maybe at level 12? I'd have to actually count the number of spell slots. But, they have taken 50% to 25% of their metamagic to do that. And all of their sorcerer points. The psion under this build... just does it. They just have a constant, free subtle spell on every ability. This is a big boost in power compared to what the sorcerer spent to do the same thing.</blockquote>
