Help with ability: Deceptive combat movement
I want to model the following ability for my DF campaing. Please feel free to point other alternatives and/or criticize the build.
Deceptive combat movement [3] During combat you can move deceptively making enemies harder to hit you. Choose one enemy each round, he has a -1 on all rolls to hit you. You can't use this ability if you can't dodge (for example if you can't see the attack, you are pinned, or if you have made an all-out attack) or if you are stunned, not standing up or flat footed. This ability doesn't work against mosnters that can "see" through a non-vision sense such as "Tremorsense" or "Hearing". As it is not a real invisiblity (you can be seen!) the "See invisible" and "True sight" spells can't counter it. Spells/Abilities that target an area and not you are not afffected by this ability. The build is as follows: Obscure Vision 1 [2] plus Defensive (+50%), Only for targetting (-20%), Extended: Infravision as well as normal vision (+20%), Accesibility: Only if you can dodge and you are standing up and not flat footed (-20%), Accesibility: Designate only one enemy per round that you can see (-30%), Cosmic: Noncosmic forms of see invisible or true sight don't work against this form of Obscure (+50%) It feels a little cheap! However Obscure + Defensive + Only for targetting is very cheap! Is it right?

Re: Help with ability: Deceptive combat movement
Here's a prior discussion on this. In it, I propose Chameleon as the base power for this ability rather than obscure. Here's my proposal:

Re: Help with ability: Deceptive combat movement
Your reasoning about Invisibility sounds sensible to me. However, in this ability, I don't like the bonus to stealth that comes with chameleon/invisibility.
Anyway, I will consider it. Thanks for your answer!
