Can a warlock use flee the scene and path of shadow on others? Many other invocations only affect the warlock, but they usually specifically state this. These two have no such specification, and the spells they are based on (dimension door and shadow walk) have multiple targets. However, the descriptions of both invocations have additional elements that suggest they are warlock-only (with flee the scene you leave behind a major image of yourself, and with path of shadow you regain hit points every hour you use the ability).
The language is pretty vague. I reread it again, and my interpretation is that flee the scene would be self only. Path of shadow is a little more vague and I would probably lean towards that one being able to have multiple targets but the warlock gets a little extra bonus. But it really does seem to be up to individual interpretation.
Thanks for the reply, lynora. I agree that the language is pretty vague, so I'm amazed that I haven't been able to find any sort of official ruling on this.
Does anyone else have an opinion? How about people who've played with warlocks using these invocations - how did they work? Were they over- or under-powered?

I would agree with WE Ray on this one.
Flee the scene; personal, due to the major image portion of the spell it just reads to me as personal.
path of shadow invocation. Path of Shadow as well seems to be a more personal spell as it helps with the warlock's healing if I remember correctly so it seems more of spell to help him rather than group use. Just my 2 cps.
