    Im currently playing with a solo monk/druid/wizard. The main way im killing guys is hiding, and then picking off monsters with a crossbow.
    The problem is the monsters seem to know where im going even though im hidden. they walk right up to me. Now this is a major problem as i get the close range penalty. Is there any particular reason for this happening?
    thx

    All of the monsters, or just some of them?

    yeah - so far orcs, goblins and wolves- everything ive met.
    Also how do you people level up when soloing - do you squat, or take it as it comes, or mule or what?

    The hiding bug has been there since IWD 1 (and I bet in other infinity games too). Occurance seems to be random, sometimes I get it, sometimes not. A way to counter this is when you notice the monsters following you, walk only a little, let them catch you, once they stop you can move further and they should no longer do that..untill they notice you again. It's annoying as hell, kills the idea of solo rogues imo.

    As for leveling solo, I take levels asap, got to lvl 30 around the Hand. No probs on that. If you want, take 5 mules in the Ice Temple, gives nice xp with those ice golems and Sherincal. Other than that, I've never squatted or muled. Note however that I use the "always get xp for kill" from the tweak pack. Not that that would really make that much difference, but it gives a bit xp (killing the Ice golems without mules gave me IIRC 200 xp last time. With my current 5 mule, they gave 7k. 7k / 6 is still more than 200, so it helps a bit).
