Many of these posts say that the Royal Guard is invisible. Having camped the tower for quite a while I can tell you exactly why it appears he is invis. If you go outside of the castle and walk around to the East you will see that you can actually walk underneath the tower area. The Royal Guard at times will spawn underneath the stair case that leads up into the tower. When you walk up the steps and the Guard is below he will agro and normally pop up onto the steps. Sometimes you may not see him or he may hit you from below the steps. Also be warned that if the guard agros there is a good chance that dvinn will as well.

Also, the Royal Guard is able to backstab allthough I have never had him cast on me. He also seams to have a fairly high magic resistance and can break through root pretty quick.

Hmm Ive been there and got very often the "Royal Guard begins to cast a spell" message suddenly Ive never been close enough to see what he casts but I think it was some kind of buff, I'd say they can be shamen or clerics too gonna check this.

Yeah right, theyre level 16-18

Last night, while running from a train in the Throne Room, I was rooted, by an Orc Oracle I believe. I could not move for a good long while.
An invisible Royal Guard started hitting me, and was never visible (I used the overhead view to look).
They've attacked me at least twice while invisible. Rules that apply to characters don't apply to NPCs and mobs. They can attack invisbly and cast spells while running.

I haven't had the pleasure of actually fighting in the castle yet, having just arrived on Faydwer. However, on a dare from some silly wood elf, I snuck and hid my way into the throne room (where a party was already engaged in battle).

While hiding, I targeted one of those royal guards that this wood elf kept telling me could see through invis, and the orc conned Indifferently to me. I assumed this meant he couldn't see me, but I guess I'll be very careful next time I decide to go sneaking around, regardless...

I hope this clears things up a little. Rogues love to sneak around and see what kind of trouble they can get into, as do all rogues its in thier nature. Well of course silly me never really knew what I was getting in to. We had already killed Dvinn and his croud a few minutes ago but I had to go behind the thrown, just to see what was there. I saw nothing but a tunnel so I turned around and started heading out. Then poof backstab 78 damage. I know it wasn't my pointy object that did that did it. Turning around I saw a stumpy little guy with a dagger. Imagine a rogue getting backstabbed, what kind of irony is that. Needless to say the RG wasn't that hard I almost killed him untill the rest of his friends decided to respawn again. So there lies my body at the foot of the RG and see those famous words Loading Please wait.......
Needless to say I found out that those things see invisable/camo/hide-sneak sice I couln't get past the thrown for any reason, everything aggroed. After Some help from a friend (Klover) and some help from a few higher levels clearing the room I was able to recover and only loosing 2 bubs in the process. Conclusion: Curiosity killes the rogue.

Everyone knows that things can't attack without losing their invis. So stop BSing.

Rogues work well with a partner that can turn the beast around every few seconds. I'm a bard and with my rogue buddy I pull, he backstabs, it aggroes him, then after a few ticks of the heal song it turns back to me. Rinse and repeat. We both get hit about the same (very little) and the mob goes down.

Just a thought, an awesome party would be 2 or more rogues. If one was in front of the mob and one in the back, then one could pierce while the other backstabs, and when mob turns around other backstabs, and thus they can alternate backstabs without ever having to move. Can you imagine how devastating that would be? And even more so with over 2 rogues, imagine a 6-way backstabbing fight lol

Dvinn does have the dirk on him sometimes I (lvl 15 wiz ) finished him off and he had the dirk ( lore ) I had one and his heart for the quest.

I agree big chump never seen him attack while invisible and never even see a backstab killed him a dozen times too but then again i had big parties and we cut through him in under 30 seconds, no real danger unless you under level 10 and alone

This guy CAN attack while invisible. Me and some friends were just minding our own business when we started getting hit by this royal guard. We looked around and couldn't find the guy. Then our wizard got backstabbed and died quick. We couldn't see this stupid thing. Luckily a druid came by and cast something on me and I could finally see the thing. We petitioned but were told there's nothing wrong with the royal guard. Guess he's supposed to do that.

They still attack me on sight in level 225 but give no exp anymore. They use backstab and hit very hard. With snare i can calm them down a bit so mz lv 25 druid can mele too. They usuallz have bronze weapons (dagger, spears)

these guys a chumps...
BS.. they can not attack while invisible.

And if they can see invisi i guess they can not see camoed cause i wlak infront of them camoed and nothing.

My faction with Crushbone is so bad...
That they try and hit me hard enough so that respawn dead....

My party came upon an RG fighting a party of bards. We foolishly joined the fray, for a few seconds... He walked through our party in seconds. Our bodies were strewn everywhere. The healers didn't even have time to get a spell off. I still have nightmares...
