It might be that I'm not running on all cylinders, but if you mean being located while not visible = middle ground, then I'd categorize that as unlikely. It's one of the perks of see invisible, for one.

This is the way I would like to see it work. If the target is out in the open, they have the chance to resist.
1. If they resist completely, they see the name of the locater, but the locater doesn't see them.
2. If they resist partially, they see the name of the locater, and the locater sees them.
3. If they don't resist, they see nothing, and the locater sees them. |
This would be fine, except there's no such thing as a "partial" resist. You do or you don't. I suppose maybe you meant "if they resist but not by a wide margin, mathematically"?

I'd also like see invisible to not be an automatic thing and have skill checks. |
It's not automatic. It's a power, and one with, well very limited usefulness as-is.

invisibility should just be a mega-form of hiding, as opposed to a win-all like it is now. |
I'm assuming this comment is independent of locating, since locating doesn't care if you're hidden or invis, it treats the two equally. _________________ "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." -- Plato

Yes, that's what I meant.

Okay, my bad. I think I was half awake when I typed that. _________________

Just had the pleasure(?) of being stunned by a Performer using Drums of Fear.
Performer(Attacker):
104 Charisma
71 Mentality
200 Percussion
68th
Psionic(Defender):
71(81) Intellect
90 Mentality
99th
Is her impressive 104 Charisma and 200 Percussion simply overwhelming me, or is something off?

No skills are listed for mental(or magical) defense.
Performers use their skill in the instrument for the spellsong, rather than Intimidation on mental attacks.
Glim has 200 Intimidation, at any rate.(Persuasion is used in Magic attacks)

(by the way, it's Rhythm.. not percussion)
What's Glim's charisma? I bet that has something to do with it. Also, what's your mental resist?

Yeah, looks like Charisma is the culprit. I was able to smack Haidee (who is some 20+ levels over me) with my DoF roughly half the time, and mostly just because my charisma was crazy high compared to hers.
Try testing with your charisma buffs and see what happens.

Charisma : 78 (96)
Intellect : 71 (89)
Mentality : 90 (9
Mental : 1027
Still getting stunned by it.
Be a while before I can test with higher stats.
