Sk: feign death

[quellren]

Look for a message that says '{your name} has fallen to the ground.'
If you see that, FD successfully cast, but didn't fool anyone.

There is no message after a successful Feign Death. The mob just stops attacking and stands there for a few moments before returning to where ever it was before you aggroed it.

Make sure your cast isn't interrupted.

I would estimate that since getting FD as a necro at 16, I've gotten the 'has fallen to the ground' message less than 50 times in 40 levels of using it. And I use it *very* often.

Edit: low alteration skill does NOT effect the probability of success, only the probability of the cast not fizzling.
As mentioned aove, an NPC's cast initiated on you before you FD will still land, and break your feign.
