Yep, this.

You can literally go anywhere with racial hide/sneak as it is right now. I'm pretty sure this is not intended/classic, but its been working for years after being reported to bug forums. As a druid, you get a guaranteed 10 minute invis at lvl 50. So, you can go anywhere you want with hide/sneak + invis, as long as you can make it there in 10 minutes.

How often and/or for what reasons do you find yourself making use of it?

[Tupakk]

Halfling and come to Dial a Port, we will show the way.

What do you mean "you can go anywhere"? If mobs aren't all turned the other way sneak doesn't help and hide should be auto turned off when you move.

It's invis+sneak. Sneak does help because mobs here only see thru it in a cone at their front. Sides are fully blind.

sneak/hide can replicate rogue sneak hide

No, it can't. Only rogues can use sneak to move while hidden, and only a rogue's hide is the special invis/ivu blend that bypasses the see invis capabilities of most enemies; everyone else with the hide ability, non-rogue halflings included, will only have an invisibility equivalent to standard invisibility spells that is broken upon moving.

if your class can be a halfling, make it as one

This part's right, at least.

It can mimic it, not replicate it. I've used invis/sneak to go behind the foreman in Overthere after porting in, but it's a far cry from my rogue's hide/sneak movement.

The correct answer is human.

TL;DR the whole thread

halflings have sneak. there is no reason to ever be a non sneaking race.

I can walk straight down to betrayer hall invis/sneak on my halfling druid, and my woodelf druid can't get down there without clearing

also max faction in kc without a VP key

The question then becomes, "Is it more useful than infinite click root?"

You're not sneaking down betrayer hall every day, and really, a druid has little reason to do that anyway.

[NarcolepticLTD]

racial Hide does work on non-undead who usually see invis (like hounds in EK).

Also, even though it'd be extremely tedious, a druid could solo to 60 using nothing but the clicky root necklace.
