t-leaves Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 One of my minor skills (15) is SNEAK. If I walk around with the Control button pressed, aside from looking like Groucho Marx, nothing happens. The sneak icon appears only when there is no one around. Perhaps I don't understand what it means. How do I practice this skill and earn improvement points? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolhandgoose Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 With a sneak skill so low, you won't be able to sneak around town. The only time it will work for you is if no one is watching. I think if you open locks etc. with the sneak button pressed it increases your sneak skill. Other than that you have to just continue trying to do succesful sneaks, or buy your way to a higher level. Things like invisibility and chameleon should help you out as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-leaves Posted September 9, 2004 Author Share Posted September 9, 2004 What is chameleon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolhandgoose Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Chameleon isn't quite invisible. Invisible meaning 100 % non visible. Chameleon allows you to blend into the background, say. A Chameleon of 10 % is not as good as 80 %, being 80 % blended in. Therefore, this would increase your ability to sneak around, since people can't see you.

Maquissar Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Another difference is that, when you are invisible, no one can see you until you make an action - that is, open a door, use an activator, try to lock a pick and stuff like that. IIRC, with Chameleon you don't have this problem... so a high-level chameleon would be better than invisibility, for stealing. If all you want to do is travel safe, invisibility will do.

Malchik Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Get the amulet of shadows. Leave Gnisis on the Ald Velothi road. Not long before Ald Velothi you will find a maiden in distress. Help her and the amulet should be yours. He he he he he! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamOfTheRood Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Another difference is that, when you are invisible, no one can see you until you make an action - that is, open a door, use an activator, try to lock a pick and stuff like that. Note that this is excellent for attacking enemies that summon things like Greater Bonewalkers or other annoying things. Just go invisible for about ten seconds, run up to them and wail away. They won't see you running up to them, and they won't be able to summon their little beasties. Assuming you've got a decent attack rate, they won't be able to summon anything in battle, because you'll interrupt them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-leaves Posted September 10, 2004 Author Share Posted September 10, 2004 I just wanted to let you all know that, working with your advice, I went invisible and stole a diamond, un-noticed by the chemist and her on-looking guard. What fun. After running out of the store, I just wished I'd stolen more. And I will! :lol: Next... chameleon and maybe telekinesis...! Thanks for you help!
