Hey, noob sorcerer here. I'm just wondering if invisibility sphere functions like improved invisibility or regular when making an action--does it dissipate, or provide concealment? |

It dissipates. Or at least it should. I use it on one PC and it's usually buggy as heck. |

it actually summons a slow moving sphere which follows you around. Its really a pain, especially if the server is lagging at the time. It should just be turned into a single cast long duration AoE radius centered on caster invis |

In any case, I also notice there sphere "follows" the character. Perhaps check to see if we can up the speed at which it moves. My reason being there are strategic advantages on having this centered on a single member of a party. And as my personal preference, I like seeing more strategy/teamwork used with magic than more "Mage, buff me, now go away and do your own thing." |

Nuuuuuuuuuuu I love how it's a summoned sphere that follows you around. That's good thing. I mean, a shame you can't see where the centre of the sphere is, but it's good for transporting a bunch of folk around invisibly. It's not bad when laggy, really. It's similar to a familiar that follows you, so, if you walk instead of run off speedily ahead, you'll be surrounded by the sphere still. Whether or not it goes away when you make a hostile action, I'm not sure. I think it stays, though I may be wrong.

It's normal invisibility. It's also really broken and kind of exploitable. |

Also, the sphere follows you even after you break your invisibility, so those close to you will still be invisible. |

Yeah. That's half the broken of it. |

Ashame I like that and it's in my regular buff setup. |

To clarify, the strategic advantage I was talking about with sphere has nothing to do with the buggy/exploitable side of it. If possible, it would be nice if we could have one of the scripters take a look at it fixing the fact that the "sphere" follows the user and just see if we can center it on the user instead. The spell has been around since the original campaign, and I suspect we've gained some better script function since then that will make the spell legit. Again, the last thing I'd like to see is this become "mass invisibility". |

It *is* centered on the user, but it's also an aura function, and that's how aura functions wor k in NWN: Buggy at best. |
