  Just tried this on CVS, and improved invisiblity seems to work fine.  Duration 
isn't really long, but hey.

  But then I re-read your message and see you're talking about 
metalforge.real-time.com.  This is running old code (basically, pre the spell 
rewrite).  That code isn't really being updated.

  At some point, that server will be deomissioned.  In any case, since this bug 
doesn't seem to exist in the new server code, I'm not all that eager to go back 
into the old code to fix the problem.

Note that crossfire.metalforge.net runs latest CVS code, and is also a much 
faster (in terms of cpu speed) server.

  Generally, monsters don't have any luck.  However, they can be insanely powerful.

  It's a long, and somewhat unfortunately, history that monsters generally have 
way more hp than characters.  And depending on the character, this can make 
monsters next to impossible to kill if you don't have the right attacktypes 
(can't do damage faster than they regenerate it).
