| Subject | Hide Mechanics |
| Lots of questions about hide. What is the base chance to be seen with and without detect hidden and/or alertness? Chances in a dark room vs. light room. Chances with dark gear, neutral, or glowing gear. Does allies/pets in group or just others in the room with light of some kind affect someone's ability to hide? Does shroud of darkness coutner well-lit rooms or glowing gear? Chance of hide when fighting against a group just the typical formula chance * attackers? Advanced sneak makes hide 50% more effective while sneaking. Does this help you hide more often during battle, or be seen less once hidden? How many successful checks are needed to backstab from the dark as a shadow dancer? Seems there are at least two..maybe three? Hide skill check alone (You fail to conceal yourself with shadows.), hide versus being spotted (spots you and your attempt to hide fails.), and backstab without being spotted (You failed to sneak up on)--are these all determined by the same formula? I'm guessing checks 2 and 3 are essentially the same check, but I'd rather ask than go mad. |
