Subject hide mechanics
* base chance to detect a hidden char (hide skill at 100%, no alertness or detect hidden, medium size and equal levels) is 10% * alertness chance increases detect chance by factor 1.5, detect hidden by factor 2 * when in a dim room (i.e. dark when all light sources removed) and not carrying a light source yourself (or being a wisp), chance to be spotted is halved * hiding out of combat is just a simple skill check (no failure chance at 100% skill) * hiding during combat requires (a) a simple hide check and (b) all opponent get at check to see you * for backstab the victim gets a chance to spot the attacker, if they succeed the chance to still land is small (improved with mastery) * the checks for hiding during combat, being see via look etc, and detection got backstab and similar are all the same I think that about covers it. :)
