Davor:

Yes, he does burn them quickly, but I usually like implementing encounters that fit the story as opposed to just throwing random one in there. But I may have to grind those ki down like you say.

Tiny Golem/Wraithstrike: As I mentioned above, I prefer to keep encounters story based. Encounter after encounter with creatures who can see invisibility might make my buddy think I'm just trying to neutralize him :)

Blahpers: I know he's going for the high-crit chance weapons. Not that he'll confirm a lot but he'll definitly get the sneak attacks in. However, the wish spell at higher levels: That's a really good idea! Thank you.

Cheapy: Flour works great but you still need the general square to throw it at/in. He likes to hit once and move. I'm certain he's going to be taking spring attack eventually.

Gauss: Of course! I totally forgot about readied attacks. That is a really good point thank you!

Thank you all for the feed back!

Need some advice on this one. Got a player who is a ninja in a campaign and he uses a brutal invisibility/sneak attack combination that I'm worried about, especially come lvl 20.

Here is my understanding of the rules:

A ninja may use a ki point to grant him/her invisibility as a swift action.

Being invisible grants +40 to stealth checks if unmoving or +20 if moving.

Light Steps Ability: This means the ninja does not take any movement penalties to stealth.

So: At level 7, on a roll of 10 my player is rolling a 60+ on stealth checks. A maxed out elven ranger of the same level hasn't a chance to even smell this guy. Short of having convenient magical or supernatural deterrents he is almost unstoppable in key fights.

Here is his strategy:

Round 1: Invisible/move into position.

Round 2: Sneak attack/go invisible/move

Subsequent rounds: Rinse and repeat until out of Ki.

Unless he rolls a one and I decide to hammer the stuffing out of him, most challenges are waining. Not to mention he takes it a little personally if I nail him to the wall just because he's found a clever way to dominate encounters.

THEN! Once he gets to level 20, there is no way anything, short of world rules (ie gods), can locate him. I'm dreading this.

Is this thing busted or am I just not seeing a suitable way to rise to the challenge?
