Shattered Kingdoms

I would vote for it aswel...if...

It was a limited area, like snowy places.

Should read:

The Beach
You are standing on a broad expanse of black sand, littered with kelp and driftwood.

A driftwoody male halfling stands here, disguised as a piece of driftwood.

You sir... win SK.

Camo is not only about hiding and not being seen. Camo is the ablity to move around the enviroment while people are looking right at you and them not knowing that it is you. Which is why you dont always break camo when you do anything like you do the Hide skill.

Remember any bugs bunny watcher knows if you tunnel under the sand to sneak from point A to point B you make a mound that people can see on the surface. At least in SK there will be no wrong turns due to the absance of a city.

A trash-cany halfling stands here, looking like the same trash can as last block. Scouts should be able to camo in the city!!

A watery halfling stands here disguised as a white cap. Scouts should be able to camo in water.

See, this is making it silly - when there's no relevance to camoing in water, or the city. There's valid reasons scouts can't camo in a city (unless using a super secret spell), and there's valid reasons scouts can't camo in an aqueous environment. However, just going by the "a scout is looking like a piece of driftwood" is [REDACTED] - and it's deflecting attention from the fact that all beaches don't look the same - they have their own panorama, and depending on the area, their own variety of things littering the beach. The beaches in West Taslamar, for instance, have descs suggesting that ships have wrecked all along the coast, and are littered with chunks of wood. The beaches near the sea of sorrow, have black sand. The beaches near Menegroth, and the South zhensh desert, are equally unique. If a scout can't make use of a natural, OUTSIDE environment that counts as wilderness, then what the hell good are they?

As for Kerrien - Scouts could never camo on the beach. If you attempt it, you'll get a "You can't do that here" message.

EDIT: Also, that helpfile is wrong. Any attempt to move does NOT break camo.

There is no real reason to not let scouts camo at the beach.

At VERY least let them camo and ambush but when they move around they break camo like hide...

Whoevers seen the new Pirates of the Carribean movie has seen someone camo in a forest.

Bah. I just had a mental image of a male scout wearing a bikini made from coconut halves and palm leaves.

I hate you Goldielocks.

Sounds like a party to me.
