Stealth consolidation

Post by Heroic Spirit » Wed Sep 25, 2019 6:20 pm

Since Haks are present now, hide and move silently should be consolidated into one skill - stealth.

To play a stealthy character, one skill cannot exist without the other unfortunately:

A character well versed in hiding is thwarted if their steps are too loud and the person that is as quiet as a mouse is ineffective if they cannot hide.

The perception line of Listen and Spot, however only requires investment in only one of the two to beat stealth. In addition, they both can fill their own niche:

A heavy investor of listen can effectively halt all stealth actions with the various spells and items that bolster it.

Spot, while used to reveal a hiding creature also fills the role of seeing through disguises.

Esf ms granting hide was definitely taking a step in the right direction, but I'm sure more can (and should) be done.
