Yes, they do. Not often. But sometimes. Happened to me. Asked an imm. Said that's how it's supposed to be.

Which means sometimes it fails, even at 100%. Haven't played a ranger in a long time so I won't talk about camo and creep. But hide and sneak fail sometimes, even at 100%.

You're wrong, as far as hide and sneak go.

That's funny. "Even if I'm wrong, I'm right." The point is, there's no reason communers/mages should have the complete reliability they do. Fighting classes work just as hard to get as good as they can, and sometimes things just get missed, don't work, etc. Same should be with those communers/mages. Sometimes, a person will just misspeak, will say the wrong word, will freeze up and forget something he knows perfectly well, etc etc etc. The mage still gets to do everything it always could, just now it has that small chance of having to do something twice, of having the bad luck that the rest of the classes have when they want to do something, something they've worked to get as good as can be, and it doesn't work.
