This is my view on things:
If a character is hidden and they pick something up, they should no longer be hidden. If they want to remain hidden, they should use the steal command.
Watching 'someone' pick things up gets on my nerves, especially particularly heavy things. I was under the impression that anything other than 'information gathering' commands and skills would reveal characters that were hidden.
Also, I'm not a big fan of emotes when hidden. It would be better if you had to use hemote while hidden, then at least there's a roll involved to see who notices anything.
I assume you only mean with the 'hide' skill, as there are other ways to be "someone" that require you to semote, and also don't inhibit you from picking things up, and risking getting seen.
Yep it's the hide skill I'm talking about.

This idea has my stamp of approval.

It's a good thing ginka backs up your views already. They are some nice views. (I tested it a lot)

I'd like to take this moment to thank everyone for their support. I couldn't have done this without you. It just goes to show what we're capable of when we all pull together.

Seriously though, some NPCs are doing it. The cheats.
That is because the NPCs are spamming both 'get .' and 'hide.' Cheaters.
What if the creature's sdesc is "Someone"? What then?

How about sleight of hand, too? That's supposed to be removing things from the area/your person without being noticed, and is the only way to "steal" things off of other objects, like tables.
