It's extremely annoying when you go down, invisible, then no one can heal you because you're invisible. What's worse is that you can't dispel invisibility. Please make it so that /c dispel invis works when between 0 and -9.

Or give your companions see invisibility potions if you are afraid of this occurring beforehand.

This seems like a good thing to me, actually. One of the risks of being invisible!

But it kinda suck that one can find the person (see it all white-glow-ish) but still not heal.

The sick, sadistic part of me sorta agrees with el Deputy on this one.

The range on Cure _____ Wounds is Touch. It shouldn't require the ability to see the target, only to touch them. If you know where the person is by bumping into them or whatever, then you should be able to heal them. Yet the game doesn't recognize that sort of spell targeting.

There are costs associated with dropping your invisibility as well. You're a target once again. Once your healer can see you, everybody can see you.

Yup that's always been my only gripe with the way being invis while bleeding out works.

I've always taken grim humour in my situation when I'm invis on the ground bleeding to death and nobody knows I'm about to die.

It's a lot less humorous when people are standing right over me, can see I'm in front of them, but the game won't let them target me for a heal.

The problem with the bleed out system is really that so many PCs die because of "Oh shit, low HP, surrounded" *Invis* *AoO max dmg* "Shiiiiiit" *Bleedout*.

Nuclear Catastrophe

No thanks.  It's a good thing.

Why is it a good thing?

It's annoying. That alone should be reason enough to change it. You might convince me otherwise if you can point out a PC whose story was notably improved by the way it currently works.

If you (whoever) like to bleed out invisible, you can feel free not to dispel it. And those who don't could feel free to do it. I don't see why one party should have any business telling what's better for the other.

Dont like being invis and bleeding then don't be invisible.

Ghost

I understand some people prefer it this way, and I might even agree that it is when all is said and done. However I also see people saying that it's a good thing and yet not explaining the reasoning behind that thought. I'd be curious to know why it's a good thing.

I do not know btw, but /c dispel invis may still work even if you lie bleeding. You can write after all.
