Question about racial hide/sneak

[falkun]

Rogues can stay hidden while moving (sneaking) and be completely invis. Non-rogues who are hidden+sneak will drop hide when they begin moving and will only remain invisible to NPCs that they are behind.

In the strictest sense, yes Kender, non-rogues can hide and sneak. However, I meant that if non-rogues are moving (sneaking) then they will drop hide, while rogues can remain hidden while moving (sneaking).

On the realm of Hide, I for some reason didnt know hide broke Charm... Was trying to hide to avoid extra aggro and BAM haha. The rest of the night my Camo was de-memmed and charm kiting was a lot easier : )

Hide+Sneak still makes me wana be a rog though haha

I wonder if you cast see invisible on your pet if hide would still break charm.

I love using Hide on my cleric... so happy my CLR is a de..

One trick you can always do to make sure your hide worked is to try and target your self after you hide.. click escape to clear all targets.. then hide.. then /target your self.

If you are able to target your self you know it failed.. if you cant /target your self you know it worked and are succesfully hidden.. as long as you dont move a step.=p

I always just got a target of something I know wasn't indiff and keep hiding until they become indiff.

And this is what I was on about with my original post: if there was a way for hide not to break on non-rogues. I've learned that there is not- outside of someone mentioning a glitch... but I ain't a goin' thar... I like the pixels I've accumulated and don't want a ban!

No, this will not work as it's not how the underlying game mechanics work. How we perceive the game and how it works are two different things. It may be a flag which is set on your character which checks to see if you have a pet. If you have a pet, the flag causes it to either die (in a summoned pet) or for a charmed pet, remove the charm effect and act upon an agro list with you now being at the top, or create an agro list with you on it.
