Hiding

Hiding lowers the chance that a fight follows you when you decide to leave. It is a town-trained skill with a purely out-of-town payoff, which makes it the sort of thing you raise while doing something else and are glad of later. In a dungeon it also opens the fight for you: your first hit to land, by weapon or by spell, has a chance to be a Surprise Attack that strikes for half again as much, rising with the skill to one fight in twenty at 100.

How you train it Start Hiding in any town, or at your own house, and it practises on its own.

What you need Standing in a town, or at home.
