16883, Cancelled Corpseguard
Posted by thief dude on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Killed a shapeshifter and then hid/sneak. Didn't have detect invis up. A lower out of range shapeshifter ("someone") then walked up and proceeded to take 5-6 items out of the corpse without me backhanding him even once. Was it me being hidden that cancelled corpseguard or his being undetected invis or both?

n/t
16895, Really? So sneaking/hiding chars can loot corpses unless you have detect hidden?

Or does the corpseguard thing kicks in AFTER they step out to pick things up? n/t

On the topic of corpse guard, does it do anything special when the would-be looters can't see the person guarding the corpse?

In that situation it seems like it never fails. If that is in fact the case, I wondered whether its by design or not.

Nope, doesn't do anything special.

It still runs through the normal chance roll in that situation.
