Sneak

This is a skill in which certain classes can train. When successfully sneaking, the character will move at a much lower percentage of their normal movement speed and will also con indifferent to any NPC's that are not facing them. This skill can be useful when moving through hostile areas. It has a roughly 10 second reset time.

Note that the Rogue is the only one who can use both Hide and Sneak at the same time, allowing him to move undetected by any NPC who cannot see invisible players.

After a battle sneak will always fail. (bug?) For Rogues, this only appears to be the case if you are brought out of sneak by being hit, picking a pocket when hidden(which cancels both hide and sneak) or casting(trap kit for example) without first manually disabling sneak(or hide in case of pick pocket) yourself. After any of these events, your next attempt to sneak will say "You begin to sneak..." but won't follow up with a success/fail message and automatically fail. Again, this is for Rogues, have not tested with the other classes. They may have other situations which will cause this to happen.
