Firstly I haven't played with invisibility enough yet to know if it is to powerful or not, time will tell but I like to think ahead.

I'm fine with the psychic phase in general, I think psykers have gotten worse in comparison to last edition and none of my playgroup is likely to play with an absurd amount of psyker levels so I don't forsee issues with complete power point spam which I don't think is particularly effective strategy anyway.

I know alot of people like to just play with the rules as written and I fully respect that choice, in my gaming group we often change things up a little just to avoid things that generally aren't fun, we don't play often enough to have games ruined by things that are easily changed.

Invisibility is a power that is fine when cast on 10 tac marines or a vindicator but it quickly becomes a problem when cast on a deathstar as it makes most of them unkillable which is counter to both players having a good time. If myself or my opponent rolls up invis I wouldn't want either of us feeling like a dick for casting it on our best unit so perhaps it is best to alter the power a little to avoid the issue coming up.

The following are a few options I've come up with for changing the Invisibility power, I'd like peoples opinions on the pro's and con's of them.

A: Leave it as it is. - Its fine, leave it be!

B: Change it to warp charge 3. - Harder to cast and thus will be used less often.

C: Change to the following. All successful to-hit rolls made against the unit must be re-rolled, Blast weapons targeted against the unit do not reduce their scatter by the BS of the firer and successful to-wound rolls made against the unit by Template weapons must be re-rolled. - Basically making it a reverse of prescience.

D: Change it so that all models attempting it attack the unit must do so at -2 BS or WS. - A lesser version of snapfire that doesn't make it immune to blasts/templates.

E: Change it so that units must pass an Initiative & Leadership test to be able to target the unit or strike it in CC. - A more traditional invisibility that you must spot and disbelieve.

F: Remove it entirely and just re-roll the power if you would get it. - It's a simple if inelegant solution.

G: Change it so that it can only target the Psyker and their unit.

Let me know what other options you can think of.

If you think its balanced when cast on a tactical squad or vindicator then maybe a balance change that only weakens it on super units would make mores sense.

Maybe something like:

H : The invisibility power has a transport capacity type limit of, say, 10. Units that take more transport space, or cannot be transported would behave as they do with transports.

Of those you listed I like B the best.

Interesting idea, a kind of size limit.

How about:

H: Change it so that it can only target units comprising of no more than 10 models or 5 models if any of them are Bulky/Very Bulky. Can only target vehicles that have no more than 3 hull points..
