Edit: No

However to stay on topic, well done linux, do you ever stop working?

i was thinking something like the invisibilty purge "dispel" like visual that if successful (maybe a spot/listen vs hide/ms kind of check)..will prevent anyone caught in the ability from stealthing,
Not a bad idea, but if we could temporarily prevent SDs from HiPSing (without death or paralysis :D), Lokey would have nerfed them to the stone age years ago. Bioware's HiPS implementation is obviously flawed, but apart from using hak paks or not allowing SDs at all, there's not much we can do (as far as I know).

The problem with hips is that it can be spammed right? So what does removing the hidden from a hidden creature do to solve that problem?

Make Invisibility Purge a HiPS purge...Boots everyone out of Stealth at lower or same level as you.

Nope. That's the beauty of Invisibility Purge - No Save and No SR either!

It could be made a pure ranger only special ability - rather than giving them true sight/better spot you could give them the ability to basically purge at will or constant aura lol!

I hadn't looked real hard at invis purge before, but according to wiki:
Caster Level: Cleric 3, Ranger 3
Innate Level: 3
School: Evocation
Components: V,S
Range: Personnal
Save: None
Spell Resistance: No

Area of Effect: Colossal
Duration: 1 Turn / Level
Additional Counterspells: Invisibility
Description: This spell removes the invisibility from all invisible creatures and items.

This spell will strip yourself and opponents within the spell's range of the 50% concealment they are granted by Improved Invisibility even if they are no longer under the invisible effect.
Retrieved from http://www.nsrealm.com/ns4wiki/index.ph ... lity_Purge

Does this strip racial conceal (if cast by a svirf, for exampe)?
Either way, that spell is pretty strong for lvl 3... I think I will slot a couple ;)

invis purge works on ghostly and ethereal visage and imp invis but not racial tokens or displacement spell. it will also target the caster if he has any of these effects on so its a doubble edge sword of sorts.

Invis Purge strips ALL concealment. Drow/tiefling concelment for sure but not the surrounding darkness. It's funny watchin my little drow stand in a pool of black totally visible to everone then get yer uv dispelled. so pwn'd lol. Svirfs and Duerger I'm not 100% but I'm pretty sure they're just as susceptable
