Hide (Dexterity)
Description[edit]
Allows you to sneak past monsters, avoiding their sight. This is only used while sneaking.
The Hide skill is used when the Sneak feat is activated and it's success depends on the Spot skill of any enemies with line-of-sight to the sneaking character. As long as the enemy spot score, including varying situational bonuses, is less than the hide skill of the sneaking character, they will remain undetected visually. The Move Silently skill is also of great importance when sneaking. For a detailed explanation of the full mechanic, see Sneak.
Hide is subject to Armor Check Penalties.
Hide is different from invisibility, which is effectively an immunity from Spot checks, provided that the invisible character is greater than 2 meters (approximately one human character body length) from the enemy. See Invisible for more on important differences between it and Hide.
- Class Skill for Bard, Monk, Ranger, Rogue

History[edit]
In 2013, Update 19 significantly revised the sneaking system, including how a character's Hide operates against an enemy.
