 advantage to a +10 as far as I can tell. That and if you buy the max level 
 of 5 in the skill at conception that gives you two tricks). Or remove the 
 "only in the dark" limitation on their invisibility. They still need to make 
 their sneaking roll, but then *poof* where did he go?

   Well here is a partial fix that I am planning on using but it is a trick 
and has not been tested.

Blink Reflex:
    If a sneak is hit with a bright light they may make a Speed roll Tn:5 for 
normal levels of light, 7 for spot light, 9 for big spot light etc.  On a 
success he avoids the 1 round of blinding.   If a sneak is hit whith some 
form of flash attack that instills multiple rounds of blindness then each 
success will negate 1 round of blindness.

How does this sound?
I am also in favor of keeping the +5 bonus but adding it works with any 
stealth type skill (ie Shadowing and possibly Sleight of Hand)
