One "entire round" (an "entire" 6 seconds) of attack against someone with HiPS is more than fair. Every other class has an infinite number of rounds they face attack in combat without being able to pop in and out of it every 6 seconds (at least, not without spells/potions/etc that also take a round to use to do so). This includes even ranged or melee rogues who could presumably have the same stats, BAB, etc and attack coming out of stealth but without the benefit of being able to jump back into stealth 6 seconds after. As a point of clarification; after the first attack, someone with HiPS can re-enter stealth regardless of the distance or attack status of the hostile target. There's no need to run around or try to find cover like a lowly 'normal' rogue. So there is still a strong combat benefit to taking a class with HiPS in Thay.

The standard NWN implementation of it was far to open to abuse and tactics like Sundraoi pointed out made it near-unstoppable. As a result, I am strongly against ever changing it's current modification and implementation in Thay. If anyone still has a problem with how this feat has been implemented in Thay and you really need to discuss it further, PM Sundraoi. Or, if you don't like it and you don't want to bother trying to convince her/me that it needs to be changed, you're always feel free to choose a PRC that doesn't use HiPS.

Now, I'd like to return this thread to something other than a discussion about HiPS.

Are there any other recommendations for class modifications that have not yet been discussed? Any thoughts on PDKs? Or Shifters? There hasn't been too much on Arcane Archers or Dwarven Defenders either - are they 'ok', or is there anything you'd like to see changed/implemented that would make them more attractive/playable in Thay?
