Detect Hidden

Post by Kelemvor » Wed Jan 14, 2009 8:00 pm

A bug report was posted earlier today noting that it did not allow detection of a hidden ranger.

Just to clarify for the poster, this is not a bug and is as it should be

However, the Help File for 'Detect Hidden' states
Detect Hidden
=============
Divination
Range: Personal
Target: Self
Syntax: cast 'detect hidden'

This spell enables the caster to detect hidden passages and creatures.
It does not allow for the detection of invisible objects.
...which is incorrect. Detect Hidden only allows detection of hidden objects and concealed or 'secret' passages/doors

Hiding creatures can only be detected with 'detect invisible' or 'true sight'

The Help File has now been corrected, many thanks to the poster for bringing this to our attention
...never send to know for whom the bell tolls,
it tolls for thee.
