Sneak/Hide are different from invis. There are things which will see
through one and not the other. Of relevance to rogues: Ghoul Assassin will
see through sneak/hide, but not through IVU.

Giants in the frontier mountains will see invis, but not sneak/hide.

Rogues are invaluable in the planes for corpse recovery. Hate in particular
(although there are some things in hate which will see them).
From the same thread. So it does seem that maybe there were separate flags for it. I'm guessing that in the Kunark dungeons Verant just flagged all the see invis as see hide.

Well, that would be an immensely incorrect assumption. Lots and lots of
things can see through a rogue sneak/hide. Most creatures that can see
through invis/ivu, for starters. If sneak/hide made rogues completely
invisible to everything, that would be GROSSLY overpowered. Sneak/Hide is
better than invis/ivu in many ways, but it does not confer complete
immunity to attack.
From the original thread. And in fact it is grossly overpowered here [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
