Also against it. Most of the reasons have been mentioned and Mort's are the most serious of those.

Ghost form does not equal what was there prior to 1.69 ... If you all want to die horribly because 20 Nightrisers are stacked upon eachother or if the boss/mage/frail but dangerous creatures are hidden under the swarm and cant be targeted... Same goes for PC mages who could be protected by just stacking PCs/Summons over them.

I tried it. It feels worst and will make any invasion with lots of NPCs a slaughterhouse (which we have lots of those).

It's not good.


I'd like to point out this suggestion was for PCs only, as implementing this for NPCS would be a nightmare for the above and more reasons, and also cause an increase in lag.

Even so, what Nut said is important. That PCs can block creatures allows a wizard not to have to be invisible the whole time.

It also allows you to cover your allies in a quick retreat.

I think your problem is, box, you want to fight in the frontline all the time. In narrow corridors sometimes it isn't posible. Get a crossbow.
