[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 3920293, member: 386"] Readily available [i]Dispel Magic[/i] means that you don't have a low-magic game any more. [i]Improved Invisibility[/i] doesn't go away after you attack. Beware II + Fly + Wand of Fireballs! You're looking at 14th level for this combo, but it's a killer. True, If you do go into dungeons, then you're in a worse way. But to me, low-magic games aren't filled with dungeons. That's just an assumption on my part. Yeah. Add in (Improved) [i]Invisibility[/i] or [i]Obscuring Mist.[/i] Now not only do they have to hit you and beat your DR (or wear away your 50 points of resistance), but they have to wait until you come out of your hiding spot. Of course, with [i]Improved Invisibility[/i], you don't have to hide - you can just fly around blasting guys. It's true that you can increase the damage and break through the DR of [i]Protection from Arrows.[/i] But if you have enough guys to do that before the Wizard can get off an [i]Obscuring Mist[/i] or [i]Invisibility[/i], what is the Fighter to do? Those same archers will blow him away. Scribe Scroll. I can carry around a number of scrolls and be pretty safe. Scrolls are pretty cheap, too. [/QUOTE]
