About Detect Hidden and Tracking skills

[Hoo the maker]

Hello.

I'd like to ask how the Detect Hidden and Tracking skills work in UOF. What's the benefit from the higher skill points at each skill?

I guess the NxN tiles increase according to the higher skill point of Detect Hidden, but I'd like to know the detail. Likewise, Tracking too.

Tracking range at gm is about 32 sqs (ask @halygon he counted) and 100% success.
tracking at 0/30 on UOF is something like 50/50 chance at success and range is less than 10 sqs.

im not sure about detect tbh.

It's 35 tiles that can be tracked at GM tracking.

Thank you for the information, Malkraven and halygon!

Just a question.. I have GM Tracking on my thief and sometimes I will fail to track nearby players. I *know* someone is hidden since I'll rubber band into them and get the "You shove something invisible out of the way" message, so I'll track but nothing.. then I track again and I'll get a hit.

Just wondering if there is truly a 100% chance if GM?
