Hide in shadows
It doesn't aid your cause if everyone in the area knows that you are around.
After being chased out of town by Captain Dane and his cronies, the rogue Alien
decided that enough was enough. He perfected the art of hiding in the shadows,
a very good way to stake out a location until a suitable victim comes along.
You can only hide in a room if it isn't too well lit, and can maintain this indefinitely if you do not move and are not attacked or perform an action that may reveal you. If you are hidden before doing an action like backstabbing or garotting you will gain an advantage as the victim is not even aware of your presence!
By virtue of the fact that you are less familiar with certain terrains like deserts and swamps, it takes more skill to hide in these locations. Also note that you may never hide from fellow rogues who are more skilled than yourself; they will always notice you lurking in the shadows!
Especially skilful rogues will be able to blend in with the shadows and wander unseen from room to room. This is a taxing endeavour however and cannot be kept up for long periods of time and any combat will compromise your hiding place. Also your skills will only allow you to move whilst hidden indoors and within towns.
