So i have an issue, how does hide in shadows/hide in plain sight works?
From experience i can say that where i try to hide in shadows change the chance of sucess, at least in BG every time i try to hide in shadows under a shadow spot (of a tree or another object) my chances highly increases.
So how hide in shadows work? Every detail of it would be appreciated.
Also, about hide in plain sight, does it induce an penality on my % of hide in shadows and move silently when i try to do it with enemies that can see me around? How much penality is imputed?
Atm i have an project of a chaotic evil female shadowdancer (13)/cleric going on (with 18 in dex at character creation), it's just level 9 atm (in BG:EE) so i wish to know my limits to use my thief skill distribution perfectly.
For example i have 85% in pick pocket and lock picks with dex 19 atm, and i know i can go for 21 dex with machine of the lum and wish in BG2, which means 95% to both skills, plus +3 temporary bonus point for every time i use DuHM, so i already have 110% guaranteed (which means i wasted 20% points in fact).
I also have 55% hide in shadows and move silently with dex 19 atm, which means i can get +5% with dex 20 (+3%) and 21 (+2%) which gives me 60%. Shadow armor (+15% hide in shadows) and boots of stealth (+15% Hide in Shadows and +20% Move silently) get me an sum of 75% Move Silently and 85% Hide in shadows, gonna be 80%/90% when i get dex to 21 and DuHM will solve any issue to this attribute, BUT:
Does Hide in plain sight have any penality to the attempt? Cos i intent to use level 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 thief points to raise 100% of detect illusions. Should i spend more points in hide in shadows/move silently? That's my main personal issue.
