Synopsis
hide
hide <item name>
Description
Hide and sneak are similar skills, both related to remaining undetected. Hide has a very high chance of success, but only works for as long as the character remains stationary. If a player backstabs while hiding, they will benefit from a temporary accuracy boost.
Hiding is most effective when unaffected by the glowing radiance of Sanctuary, when glamoured but unaffected by faerie fire, and when lucky; hiding is less effective when searchers are particularly knowledgeable or affected by infravision or other life-sensing techniques.
A character may also attempt to hide certain items. These may be uncovered by use of the SEARCH command.
