Dragon powers question.

Unread post by Shadowdragon7 »

What stealth power for dragon hatchies are better? Invisibility at-will or the forest dragon chameleon ability? And what one is more fun to roleplay with some examples?

For me it is Invisibility at-will - it's more dragon-like :-).

I had a lot of fun playing a Forest Runner hatchling but I only really used the chameleon ability a couple times. I think once I used it in a manner similar to the Cheshire Cat, to some mild amusement, but otherwise it was used basically like invisibility.

On a frustrating note, the chance to remain unseen at full speed is an amazing 80%, but what's the chance to remain unseen when moving slowly or stationary?

Seems like it should be maxed out if you're right that it's 80% at max speed.

That was our interpretation too.

Invisibility is better until See the Invisible folk show up at which time Chamo shines.
