25320, Saurian inherent acute vision vs the skill
Posted by Simple Saurian on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
This is my first saurian I'm playing and I've noticed that I cannot see creatures in the wilds as the inherent says I should be able to. I am a Ranger, btw. I cannot practice acute vision because it wont allow me. I'm already inherent in it.

I couldn't see a dark elf ranger on the who screen and I had detect invisible up. This ranger should always be visible to me, but was not. Then after a few minutes, they appeared on the who screen again, but not on the bottom as if they lost link, or logged out and then back on. This ranger was five or six spaces up from the bottom. I should be able to see this ranger all the time, but I could not. That happened two times and I prayed about it.

Next I was in the fields/plains/trail which I can creep around in, but I could not see a thief that was just hiding in the room. This thief could just go in and out of hiding from my eyes to throw dust on me and then hide again. I thought a saurian could see anyone hidden in the wilds. That's what the help file says. Thieves shouldn't be exempt in this, should they? Battlefields in the plains he was just hiding in the wilds while I was next to him and I couldn't see him.

Again, this is my first saurian, but their vision should be able to see everything in the wilds, right? I know I cannot see invisible creatures unless I have detect invis up, but anyone hiding, or sneaking should be visible to me.

There's a difference between saurian acute vision, and the skill acute vision. I dont have the same vision as a saurian I would as another felar with acute vision. At least that's what it feels like.


Thanks

A player can void out and reconnect without being bumped to the bottom of the who list.

Also, only plains rangers can see thieves hidden in plains. This is a recent change, at that. I think it was my santa umishzulghi request. Other terrain rangers cannot see hidden on plains.

I don't think saurians can see hidden orcs in various places either, fwiw.

This is not true. I can think of at least two ways they can disappear from your who list but there may be even more.
25322, Seems fine.

Everything seems fine.

Saurians literally have acute vision. As in they permanently have it up.

So I see no issues.
