Detect Hidden

[Drucilia]

I have a stealther. He has 100 hide 100 stealth 100 or so dex.
I can detect him in 1 go 99% of the time with my human with the racial +20 bonus. This is standing in a feild not in my house. the stealther is naked and has resist spells which i dont think matters
This doesnt seem right.

You're probably targeting within a tile or two of where he's standing. Add some range to it and you'll fail some.

Its an area thing not based on a specific tile. Or moooo?

The farther away the tile that you target from the tile that the character is standing on, determines your chance of success. Targeting the exact tile should give you an almost perfect chance.

I have an additional, slightly related question...

...lets say you're at 0 hiding, 0 stealth, etc... and then I'm at gm hiding/stealth etc... and then Bob comes by and tries use Tracking.

Is there a chance he only spots you on the tracking list? Or is Bob going to see both of us on the tracking list every successful time he tracks? What about tracking skill level itself, does that have anything to do with this?

Hope this is easy to understand, any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

"Your ability to track another player is determined by your Tracking and Detect Hidden skills and your target's Hiding and Stealth skills. The exact formula looks like this:

% Chance of tracking = (Tracking + Detect Hidden + Random 1-20) / (Hiding + Stealth) * 50

So a player with GM Tracking and Stealth would have approximately a 50% chance of tracking a player with GM Hiding and Stealth.

Players with no Hiding or Stealth can always be tracked with 100% chance, however all human characters have Jack of all Trades of 20 hiding and stealth and elven characters have a racial resistance making them harder to track."
