Which one should you pick?

  • Pick Greater Invisibility: Pick Invisibility (level 2) for stealth and approach — breaks the second you attack or cast.
  • Pick Invisibility: Pick Greater Invisibility (level 4) for combat: the rogue gets advantage on every attack for a minute.
  • Tiebreaker: Both share Stealth check requirements once enemies start hunting by sound; invisibility ≠ silence.
