I am the GM for Shadow Walkers of Britannia. I will serve as a spy in the service of the Protectorate. I am also a member of the Thieves Guild, although I really only steal in Doom/Tokuno dungeons.

If you want any chance of revealing me for RP Purposes, you will need to War me. In trammel, you won't reveal me unless you are warred to me.

I am accepting any and all war requests. I am the only member of the guild. I am non combat, but built for intelligence gathering. I am GM Thief, Hiding, Stealth, Focus, Chiv, and soon GM Tracking, and have sufficient Ninja for shape changes. I jewel up to 120 Stealing and Stealth. I am also Elf Char, so you will be hard pressed to reveal me otherwise.

War me if you would like. Thanks.

I sent a war invite to you from Wanderers. It's a one-person guild as well.

Welcome to Atlantic, whether you are new or not. I look forward to seeing you ingame.

If someone is going to cast reveal in an area, roleplay wise, you should reveal, warred or not. It would make for more interesting roleplay. Just felt I should throw that in, considering recent events.

Welcome! Just FYI you could do a lot worse about enhancing your knowledge of roleplaying a stealther than to observe these pointers by Kotare:

Or just do whatever the hell the game lets you do, and let everyone else do what the game lets them do. You're planning on being warred to anyone who'll send you an invitation, so there shouldn't be any problems with people being unable to detect you. And if the people you're warred to complain when they can't detect you, then tell them to get detecting hidden. It's that simple.

Well... Even with detect hidden skill I will be hard to detect. GM Hiding Legendary Stealthing. For you to detect me you have to be right on me. IM elven, and we are harder to detect, and I have very high dex which also helps in stealthing.

I have had someone with High magery cast Reveal where I was standing, adn still could not reveal me. Maybe a Legendary Mage might but an Elder will fail.

So, someone casting Reveal most likely in game will not reveal me. I have spent the time and have the skills. Sorry.

So here is the dilema, do I make myself visible if you try? I might. If you are close enough to me when you cast I might. Keep in mind, im roleplaying a spy. A good spy, a very good one. Even if you reveal me, (or i do it for you) doesnt mean you can catch me. If you are warred to me Ill let ya catch me, if ya can kill me. But I am also ninja and can shift forms. As a member of the Thieves guild, I can use disguilse kit, so don't get used to a player name. The only way you will recognize me is if IM orange to you.

Technically if i am revealed RP wise but not by game mechanics, that is METAGAMING. As far as the rules thrax showed, they are good ones, and I have already read them.

Legendary magery alone doesn't give a very good chance to detect a good hider, if it's even possible at all. I can't find a formula for it, unfortunately, but the person casting it needs detecting hidden too.

It's the same deal for tracking: if you're trying to track someone with high hiding and stealth, you need both high tracking and high detecting hidden to track them. Stratics has a formula for this, but I'm not sure if it's still accurate:

% Chance of tracking = (Tracking + Detect Hidden + Random 1-20) / (Hiding + Stealth) * 50

I also have no idea how much more difficult elves are to track than humans. I can't find any mention of the actual numbers anywhere.

Edit: Moved colon to a happier place.

it was my understanding that someone with the jack of all trades 20 tracking can track a gm stealther.

Tracking skill is your best bet for detecting hidden stealthers. However, you have a very small chance at lower skill levels for detecting legendary stealthers. If you want a decent chance, you need higher skill. At lower skill levels you have to be fairly close to detect them. I am working on GM Tracking now with this char.
