Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

Hello,
Not sure if this is a bug and couldn't find it anywhere so I'll place it here...if not appropriate pls feel free to delete.

Invisibility Sphere - would it be at all possible to remove the circle and rainbow effects for either people outside the group, other ppl than caster or even altogether? As it stands the spell is very much useless except for PvE, it's like having invisibility and have your character shimmer with lights but be invisible otherwise.

Thanks

yeah, that's pretty metagamey to see an invisble group pass

Without the circle it's pretty much impossible to use though and it can't be made visible to some and not to others. And you don't like rainbow effects ?

It's funny, because in D&D, Invisibility is not actually being undetectable—you simply cannot SEE a person, or persons, but you can hear them, and smell them even!! Lookin' at you Orc Boys That Never Wash! Heck, LOOKIN' AT YOU rosy smellin' elf butts!

But seriously, Ethereal exists for all the reasons that Invisibility doesn't provide complete nothingness.

Yeah...who doesn't like rainbows?!!?

Bard here...doesn't get Etherealness Also rainbows are great but seeing a white circle with circle of rainbows coming down the road is kinda wrong

It certainly is weird but the alternative of seeing nothing, particularly for the caster and those inside the sphere, seems worse to me.

What it mostly needs really though for the beneficiary of the invisibility is just to see the caster, so you know where to walk. The bubble though could be caster perspective only?

**rainbow bubble shimmers across field of battle**

guy1: "//we're in invisi sphere pls no metagame."

guy2: "//imma roll listen then "

guy1: "ATTACK!"

Grant the caster and/or the group a 'see sphere feat' for the duration of the spell.

Or someone needs to provide a see invisible first.

This might defeat the purpose of the spell but would be making the spell to act simply as "Mass invisibility" a better alternative, with the addition that when cast while you see caster it would make the same "See through" effect as walk unseen?

But the idea is to remain close to the caster or the effect wears off .. without a visual cue how can you do that ? Since not everyone necessarily has see invis ...

Yeah, that's why I said it might defeat the purpose...but as is, the spell is in a state where no one or almost no one uses it....only one I saw using it in year and half were me and one other charcter not counting new players who just wanna try it. So just spitballing here

Well it didn't work at all a few months ago

I doubt many people even know it's usable now.

Well alright, that's great and all and thanks to whoever fixed it just...now with those rainbow colors...I actually had players thinking it's a DM event so I am attracting more people than without invis

Rainbow colors can be removed easily enough if you want, they were just there for prettyness.
