detect illusion

for the thief, how do the mechanics of this work? can it expose enemies hiding in shadows? if so, does it check against their hide in shadows value?

frankly, I never actually saw this work in game, and I was using a thief with detect illusion score of over 90.

testing it in the palace area of dorn's deep. my thief never detected a single hidden thief, ever. not even waiting minutes in a place I knew there were thieves hidden.

I suspect it either doesn't work for hidden creatures, and only works for magically invisible things, or else it's just plain broke.

any others with experience using it?

    ... to compare, if one of my casters uses a "true seeing" spell, the thieves show up immediately.

    It detects magical illusions, such as invisibility and mirror image not stealth.

    righto. you'd think... it being a thief skill... it would detect stealth. *shrug*
