The Fey Bloodline PRD entry says:
Fleeting Glance (Sp): At 9th level, you can turn invisible for a number of rounds per day equal to your sorcerer level. This ability functions as greater invisibility. These rounds need not be consecutive.This is arguably weaker than Greater Invisibility which sorcerers can already cast at 8th level, because it affects the sorcerer only;
Sorcerers who take it as a 4th level spell can cast GI. This doesn't sound like a compelling reason to me.
it is far weaker than the 8th level illusionist ability, Invisibility Field, because it is a standard action to activate (and deactivate);
Without evaluating the relative strength of the abilities, is there something that says sorcerer 9 bloodline abilities should be comparible or better than wizard 8 specialist abilities?
and this previous thread implies that it should be a swift action.
I understand that thread differently. It looks to me like it is about a problem in Hero Lab having the wrong text due to cut/paste errors.
Okay, so the fleeting glance ability is correct as written. It takes a standard action to activate and deactivate, making it effectively like being able to cast GI, self-only, once a day.
This is fine by me. I was just confused by the post related to hero labs, and the similarity to the illusionist ability. Thanks for answering!
It isnt once a day by the way, it is rounds = to you sorcerer levels

I wouldn't say it takes a standard to deactivate but since it isn't in there you are kind of screwed that way.
You can probably get 2-3 uses out of it.
I agree, the illusionist ability is much better.
