Arena Fighters - Cheating?

[Richørd]

So I dueled the Lion's Cub Theo on my character and attempted a tried and true tactic of using an invisibility potion for that 50% concealment while I drink potions to bring myself up in a regular manner.

Only this time Theo decided to immediately act like he was not aware of my presence and within the blink of an eye the arena unlocked and he left.

I was told OOCly that this was done to counter invisibility cheese that was used in the arenas but this is a strange, immersion breaking change.

Though I understand that anti-invis cheese should exist I do suggest giving the NPCs a timer of 1 turn or 5 rounds before they leave the arena, unless their opponent reappears.

Alternatively I suggest adding an IC rule to the arenas about how means of invisibility are forbidden.
