newbie question about SNEAK


t-leaves

Recommended Posts

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?

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.

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.

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.

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!
