Ring of invisibility

Post by AxeMental »

Is there a rule that relates to how often the ring can be activated? For instance, if you attack (popping out of invisibility) can you turn invisible the following round? We have always required a turn before being able to go invisible again (but I think this was a house rule). How have you handled this in your own games? Perhaps one of the modules or Dragon mags addressed this question?

I say the character can become visible and attack in one round, then become invisible again the next round if no other attacks are made.

Putting on or taking off the ring is an action as far as i'm concerned.

I could see penalizing one turn if they become visible by attacking, it would prevent people from trying to spam the power.

go invisible the following round. Your house rule is better though.
