It just struck me as odd. Why are sneaking classes (elves and drow) immune to the revealing effects of faerie fire?

i.e. they can still auto sneak when faerie fired and when they flee from combat, they can still conceal which direction they have fled.

From the help file:

"A person affected by faerie fire cannot sneak or become invisible, hidden, duo dimensioned or camouflaged."


I would assume that these sneaking classes should also be affected by the spell like all classes. I mean, I don't think a brightly glowing elf or drow is going to slip my notice as he tries to flee or sneak by me quiet or not.

Discuss.
