[Explanation] Detecting Hidden - Jack - 11-15-2014 Detecting hidden is used to reveal hidden players in a range, and to reveal whether an item is trapped or not. Finding Hidden People The radius for detecting hidden players is ( Detect / 10 ). With a 0 radius (0-5 skill), you will only detect players on the tile you target. If a player has a hiding skill that is more than 20 skill higher than your detect hidden skill, you have no chance to reveal them (and thus, cannot gain). If you have a detect hidden skill that is more than 20 skill higher than the target's hiding skill, you will reveal them every time (and thus, cannot gain). If your target is within a house, all hidden players within the house will be revealed. Then, a normal detect hidden check takes place which can also possibly reveal players outside the house, in the normal ( Detect / 10 ) range. Although you can not possibly gain from revealing players insidethe house, it is still possible that a player outside the house is revealed and you have a chance to gain. With a skill of 80 or more, you have a chance to passively detect stealthers that move within a range of 1 to you. At 80 skill this is a 50% chance, at 100 skill it is a 62.5% chance. Trapped Containers There is no bonus for detecting traps within a home you own. Before 50 skill, there is no AOE detection of traps. You can only reveal traps by directly targeting the trapped container. After 50 skill, the detection radius for traps is ( ( Detect - 50 ) / 10 ). This gives you a range of 0 at 50 skill, and a range of 5 at 100 skill. When a trap is detected, a message will appear over the trapped item that says [trapped], color coded by trap type. Dungeon Traps Not yet implemented. Skill Gain  You can not gain detect hidden from player made traps. From 0-10 skill, you will gain every time regardless of whether there is anything to reveal. This will not happen if your target is in a house region. From 10-50 skill, you can gain by either revealing a player that is within a range of 20 hiding skill vs your detect hidden, or target non-player made traps (example, in shops). From 50-100 skill, it would probably be best to detect in shops, or a group of dungeon chests.
