Rogue's Hide in the Shadows

[Thorsson]

Does that work even against Uncanny Dodge?

When you have uncanny dodge, attacks still count as sneak attacks, but sneak attack damage is not implemented.

There is a bug, or perhaps unintended behaviour to HiTS. If you press it in combat, than press attack on whatever you were fighting. Even if you dont hide ( your hide timer is not recharged ) enemies will turn their backs, and you would execute sneak attacks.

Wich makes it almost as good as HiPS in NWN1, and certanly superior to HiPS in NWN2.
Still, you can not use this almost nowhere outside. And smart rogue would surely have HiPS as that very important panic button.

Definitely a bug/ exploit to get sneak damage without actually executing the hide in shadows. Posted to QC, thanks for the report.
