Stealth

Stealth is a thieving skill that allows characters to hide and move around unnoticed. Few classes have the ability to use the shadows to their advantage, but those that do often find it a great advantage.

Usage

Stealth is an active skill that allows a character to hide, as long as they are not being watched by another creature, NPC or player. A players Stealth skill represents their percentage chance to hide. As long as they are out of sight, a character with 100 Stealth will always become hidden. A successful stealth attempt will result display the message "You have hidden yourself well.", wile a failed stealth attempt will display the message "You fail to hide." While hidden, if a character walks in any direction, they have a chance of sneaking. This chance is based on their Stealth skill and armor. Character's wearing heavier armor will find that they have a harder time sneaking around.

Differences from Ultima Online

Ultima Online players may remember there being two skills, Hiding and Stealth, associated with this ability. On Regisfall, they have been combined into one skill.

Limitations

If a character is in combat and their opponent has a line of sight on them, any attempt to hide will result in an automatic failure and the text "You can't seem to hide right now" to be displayed.

Though character's in heavy armor will have no trouble hiding, they will find sneaking to be nearly impossible.

It is important to remember that Regisfall is a roleplaying game. Hiding in plain sight or in awkward situation when involved with other players is considered bad roleplaying. Don't do it!
