Hide

This skill allows a character to hide from enemies.

• Ability: Dexterity
• Classes:
  • Arcane Archer
  • Assassin
  • Bard
  • Monk
  • Pale Master
  • Ranger
  • Rogue
  • Shifter
  • Shadowdancer
• Cross-Class: Yes
• Requires Training: No
• Check: The character must succeed at an opposed test against a searching creature's Spot check. Success means that the character goes undetected.
• Special: The Hide and Move Silently skills combine into a single Stealth action. Movement in Stealth mode is slower than the normal rate. Wearing armor may incur a penalty, as can using a torch, but low light can provide a bonus. A character in Stealth mode is harder to spot if standing still, and if his stature is small.
• Use: Select the Stealth action from the Special Abilities radial. Invisible characters automatically enter Stealth mode. Opposed Spot and Listen rolls are made once per round, where applicable.
