Help on: hide

When a player successfully hides, other players do not see him when they enter or look at a room. The player remains hidden until he or she presses the return key to execute an action. A Necromancer, if affected by Sense Life, feels the presence of the player in the room but does not know who is hiding. Hide does not work in the presence of others unless all of those others are in the same group as the person attempting to hide. Further, those with no inherent skill in hiding (i.e., those using a hide item) cannot hide indoors or in city rooms.
