Any character that is hidden will thus not be seen and their location will not be known to the enemy. Being invisible gives total concealment and thus a -5 penalty to attacks. A character who is invisible is also not subject to OAs and gains CA on any attack.Basically if you can combine Cunning Sneak with any way to get constant or near constant concealment then you can really sneak around almost anywhere. The Armor of Dark Deeds is nasty in this context as attacking while hidden grants CA which the armor turns into concealment which the Cunning Sneak can then use to hide again. Effectively they can be hidden ALMOST all of the time. Of course they may still fail a hide check and depending on the tactical situation may not have enough actions to pull it off all the time. Various of the MP2 rogue powers will of course help a lot with this.A properly designed Cunning Sneak really pretty much should be able to hide constantly. Of course most Brutal Scoundrel rogues can get CA in some fashion almost every round as well in practice, so its not THAT big a deal, mostly it just helps them with their defenses against ranged and melee attacks.</blockquote>
