Hide health/focus/dex/str/int of other players and add Forensic Evaluation

like UO... a skill it's necessary to understand the power of other players... a like UO... the Forensic Evaluation (or something like that) is necessary.

if the TOTAL PLAYER LVL is better than the level of the examined guy.. game give back some infos.. like STR / DEX / INT...

the skill level of Forensic Evaluation is just to increase the chance to retrieve these values..
lvl 0 - 0 % lvl 100 - 100%

with a level 50.. player can easly (2 o 3 attemps) identify STR DEX INT values of a low level guy... (when the skill fails.. a message will be displayed to alls to alert about the examination)

for health and focus .. maybe displayed sometimes if the skill was better than 70... (at lvl 70 - 0% .. and at lvl 100 30%)

a level 110 player can see STR DEX INT of every other player lower than 110...
a level 90 player can't see anything of a level 91 player.

 

I'd like to see this become a Moon Magic spell, call it Lunar Obfuscation or something like that. The higher your skill the more information it cloaks about the player.

 

Seems to me like quite unnecessary advantage for people who abused unbalanaced state of the game early on. I think that actual skill to learn more about your enemies would be nice, but it should not be tied to player level imho. Just higher level skill reveals more detailed information.

 

PvP relevant Only just make it an option for players to have it visible or not, easy enough.

No skill needed.

No programing other than visible or not.

 

They were considering going with a minimalist HUD ages ago and having the condition of creatures obvious by how they looked. It was one of many things that got ditched though.

 

Unflagged fine you can hide yourself if you want to with an option, Flagged no freaking way. We should be able to look at your stats and make the decision to run away without needing a skill to do so. We already have to click on you to figure it out which for some people is already too little time to run away. The only people that want to hide their stats in pvp are people that want to kill people unexpectedly. This can already be mostly accomplished by locking your skills to 99.9 though your HP and FP still give you away.
