Nothing to add really, since it has boiled down to matter of taste now. The invisibility for Aerial Servants seems pointless though, if it is true, since the point of having an Aerial Servant is to smash the brains of enemies. Had it been Improved Invisibility, then it might be worth mentioning. Of course, I guess this means that they get first strike.
Cheerio. |

I think that just being Invisible grants you these bonuses - becuase attacking for the shadows grants them, too. It's a mere speculation, though.
You are right about the +4 to Saving Throws, but AFAIK, it also grants "Attack Bonus" - which is a bonus to both THAC0 and damage.

I highly doubt Improved Invisibility grants damage bonuses. It is not an Attack Bonus, but a bonus to Attack Roll( as in THACO). I referred to IWD as well, and there was no mention of damage bonuses either in the character list or spell description.
An easy experiment will be to create a Mage, a Kensai, and a target. Use the Mage to cast II on the Kensai, then using the Kensai, activate Kai and hit the target( who should be armed). [ 11-07-2002, 04:10 AM: Message edited by: Dundee Slaytern ] |

I tested the Improved Invisibility out on my mage carefully writing down his saving throws, THAC0 and bonuses to damage by reading them off character information screen. Casting improved I i noticed the THAC0 went down by 4 but i failed to see any change in saving throws. Unless its a hidden bonus there is no bonus to saving throws that i can see from Improved I, even though its states that it does have it in the description. Bonus to Damage remained the same. Further digging into improved invisibility by looking at the spell with near infinity and infinity engine editor pro failed to turn up anything about bonuses to saving throws.

Bleah. [img]tongue.gif[/img] No bonus to saving throws huh? I am a bit muddled by your comments on damage though. Is there, or is there not a bonus to damage?

The Saving Throws bonus IS there.
I'll test about the damage bonus issue.
