[QUOTE="WOLead, post: 4271218, member: 65571"] A Ranger with training in perception could simply beat the stealth check and attack the Warlock if needed, or with a level 2 utility help someone else beat the perception check. Either that or a Cleric or Wizard with Wisdom also decides to train in Perception to locate all those annoying Stealth enjoying targets. Clerics could grab a bonus through their Holy Lantern, while Wizards just lob area attacks in the general direction and not even worry about the concealment defense. If not, then players/NPCs could set a delayed action on their turn so that they attack when a Warlock using this trick attacks, they in turn attack the Warlock's square back before he can move or redo a stealth check against everyone. Warriors could attempt to charge, Wizards could lob a Fireball, Rangers launch an arrow, and ect. whenever a Warlock takes a chance to launch an attack of his own and before he can retreat back into the shadows. Or better yet, release an attack that will immobilize the Warlock, making him or her a sitting duck. A Warlock not thinking clearly would use Shadow Walk purely for defense and attack every turn, which may work when in a mess of fighting and enemies would rather target the easier to spot enemies, then take a chance of loosing their action because the Warlock doesn't attack. Another Warlock could attempt to position himself to prevent an attack when he attacks so he can go back into hiding safely, similar to how a Ranger or a ranged Rogue would attack stealthly. Though I can almost imagine a Warlock screaming in outrage or fear when a wizard delays his action so that when the Warlock temporarily drops stealth and attacks again, he uses Bigby's Icy Grasp or Bigby's Grasping Hands to capture the Warlock and Sustain Minor it until the Warlock gets extremely lucky in its attempt to escape its grasp. Assuming the Warlock doesn't simply die when its dragged out of the shadows and everyone else wants a piece of him. [/QUOTE]
