Detecting Hidden
Find hidden players, stealthed monsters and the dungeon's hidden Golden Lock Chests.
Overview
Detecting Hidden is the counter to Hiding and Stealth, and it is the key to the hidden Golden Lock Chests.
What It Does
- Active: target a spot and everything hidden within Skill/10 tiles (at least 2) is checked; a failed roll halves the radius. Each hidden creature is revealed if your skill beats their Hiding, with a little randomness on both sides. 10 second reuse.
- Passive: every few seconds you have a small chance to notice hidden things within 4 tiles, better the more your skill exceeds their Hiding and Stealth. You also sense hidden objects within 8 tiles.
On Perilous Legends
- Golden Lock Chests: two hidden, locked, top-tier chests per dungeon, respawning every two hours. Actively detecting reveals them on a roll from 50 skill (no chance) to 100 (certain); from 80 skill you may also feel them passively within 4 tiles. The Reveal spell works too. Picking one needs 95 Lockpicking.
- Cutpurse Born in the Shadows and Biologist Predator's Instinct reveal stealthers without this skill.
Training It
Use it near hidden things (a hidden friend works). Thieves and rangers teach it. Champion power scrolls take it to 120.
