[QUOTE="isoChron, post: 808024, member: 5927"] What sniper worth it's salt won't have a ring of impr. invis. ? Ok, wiz and sor as well as cleric can detect him IF they have see invis. or invis. purge on. If not target the spellcaster with a readied action if he casts, shoot and he may loose his spell. Then move max. distance (mostly 30 ft) and be ready for a second try. Darklone's idea with the darkness spell is also great. Pay a little beggar to stay at a point where the ambush will happen (a city ambush), then if the things go wrong for the sniper he gives a sign and the beggar leaves ... no longer sitting on the little stone with darkness on it. :) (and maybe a silence on one or more arrows will make it even more difficult to coordinate the defense and cast spells. Or take two snipers with a ghostsound item (didn't assassins have ghostsound ? Can't remember.). Only one shoots in a round and spend the next round moving, hiding, using ghostsound to pretend he is moving. From another direction the second sniper shoots the second round....... Ghostsound worked very well IMC. This is a very valuable and cheap spell. If the PC's can see the arrow sticking in the wizards breast they could guess from which quadrant the shot came, not more. As one is hit, he will first draw the attention towards himself and I would grant a bonus to hide because of this distraction. However, give the party a chance to do something. Nothing is more disturbing than entering an ally and not being able to leave it again without a hint what happend. Just my 2 cents. BYE [/QUOTE]
