Game Mechanics: Racial hide is too successful

[azxten]

I don't have proof yet but I wanted to mention that the success rate of racial hide seems much too high. I'll try to look into past discussions and find supporting evidence.

I'm playing a Dark Elf Enchanter and I use Hide to break charm regularly or in other situations. It seems to work about 4/5 times which seems to be way too successful. In my memory of classic racial hide seemed to regularly take 10-20 attempts to get it to work. It was almost useless except as a way to "perma" invis for AFK, etc.

I think this may actually be a more wide spread problem with skills and low skill rates in general. It seems like a lot of skills with only 20-30 points work as well as the same skill with 100+ points. Not all of them but many like channeling, hide, and sneak.

Similar to my other recent bug report on Enchanter mez this also directly ties into making DE Enchanters more powerful than they should be.
