Hiding is an essential skill for a thief or ninja as a preliminary to stealthing from, or through danger areas. The act of hiding will make you invisible to other players, but not unfindable. Shoving through someone who is hidden will give a message ‘You shove something invisible aside’. The player then has the option of casting the spell ‘reveal’ or using the skill ‘detect hidden’ if they have those abilities. You may take items from your own corpse while hiding and not be revealed, but looting other corpses, whether monsters or players, will reveal you. You can not hide […]

Useless skill, so they tell me, and maybe it does take a little ingenuity to turn a coin from it, but oh the fun you can have with a lowly shepherd’s crook and an ounce of mischief.

At 80 points you begin to be able to resurrect player characters, though it […]

  The skill ‘detect hidden’ is used both passively and actively to detect hidden boxes, hidden traps, hidden people, and for those engaged in Virtue vs Vice, hidden sigils. Until publish 105, June 2019, Detect hidden, together with lockpicking, was also a qualifying requirement for training the skill ‘remove trap’. This requirement no longer applies. Finding Hidden People The radius of detection is based on your “Detect Hidden” skill. Your chances of finding a hidden player depend on the relationship between your Detect Hidden skill and their Hiding skill. You can expect to be totally unable to find a grandmaster […]

By: EM Malachi Several Hundred Years Ago… As Mondain’s gaunt fingers closed the clasp, the dark gem in the necklace felt cold against Minax’s throat. It seemed to draw all of the room’s shadows toward it. The wizard never showed sentiment, and Minax had learned that each rare gift held a purpose. She turned to face her mentor and lover, “What do you require of me?” Mondain unrolled a map of the known world, “You will go to the city of Britain.
