Any way we can be able to flee while in hiding, or at least retreat a little faster? Every time I hide and retreat, the thing always leaves before I can actually get fully retreated. _________________ >ask librarian about books

I'd rather creatures just not be able to leave while I'm engaged and hidden. _________________

I just hate it when they flee when engaged with them. Turning their tails and running...ouch. PCs have to take time to retreat. Creatures should too. _________________ "I reject your reality and substitute my own!" -- Adam Savage

You can't flee while in hiding. It tells you "They can't hit what they can't see" Well, if that's the case, I should be able to just walk away. _________________ >ask librarian about books

I could conceivably change flee to work while hiding, but I can't think of a single reason why it wouldn't reveal you in the process (re: Terrified, you turn and run from combat.), which in effect makes it fleeing while not hidden.

just curious, but why do you want to retreat while hidden AND have them stay? _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

For me, there's a couple of reasons. One, because my weapon works far better at a distance (pole is best). Plus I don't like the occasional 'fumble' wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am-NOT where they whack you even if you have godlike skills/stats compared to them. I prefer to hunt from hiding for both reasons.
The annoying thing is, I can be engaged - at pole - hide, aim, and they walk off before I can shoot. I just want them to not be able to leave the room if I'm engaged (outside of fleeing), regardless of my visibility.
PS: Hangback doesn't work near as well as I hope one day it will, so it's not really an option yet. _________________

Players are required to retreat before they can leave the room. All I was asking for was that creatures follow the same 'rules of engagement'. _________________

I believe that part of that is, to some extent, a bug. If a hidden opponent has engaged you, you aren't able to leave the room until you retreat; however, when you attempt to retreat, you're given the message that you aren't engaged with anyone. I think it's more likely that a person would be able to leave when they don't see someone than be pinned indefinitely in a room by a nonexistent (as it were) aggressor. _________________ Mickey Brunner

She's talking about when you're engaged with a critter and you're in hiding, they can just walk off, but you can't. _________________ >ask librarian about books

IIRC, players are unable to leave rooms when hidden critters in the warehouse on chodaku are engaging. _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!
