Stealth Question

[Baldrian]

A little question for the ones that know.

I have stealth on shield on my scout, so....

Does the stealth skill only affect you when you go into stealth, or will my stealth lower when I switch to bow while in stealth?

 

[Raven]

it will lower.

Stealth check is only made by the game at the moment you enter stealth.

So feel free to swap to bow once you have stealthed - it won't make any difference to your detection or ability to be detected.

If you want to test this:

1 - Note your /loc. Equip shield for max stealth. Enter stealth.

2 - Have a friend move away from your /loc until the exact point at which you "disappear". Have him note his /loc.

3 - Swap shield out for bow (without destealthing).

4 - Have your friend move away from your /loc again until you disappear once more. Note his /loc.

5 - Observe that the two distances are the same, even though in the second test, your stealth skill was less than when you entered stealth.

it will lower.

LOL. Nice try,Hib!
