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?
