Random skill questions...

1) Am I mistaken, or is it impossible to actually have all of our
skills set up on buttons? I have eight ability-only skills now which
require buttons to use them. I think I can only set up six at once?

2) Anyone know the max on Hide and/or Sneak?

3) What does it mean to have a lower/higher Hide skill level? It
*appears* to work perfectly each time. I hit the button, I disappear.
Does skill level determine the length of time that it works? Or whether
the MOBs can see you anyway? Or anything else at all?

4) Is there any way to know whether Sneak actually worked or not?
Other than trying to move and estimating based on your walking speed?
What does Sneak do? Is it just a mobile Hide? Why do we have Hide
then, when you could Sneak and stand still?

5) Are they getting rid of Instill Doubt? Has anyone ever trained a
point in this skill?

6) Begging 77 now, never got more than a copper (well, I seem to recall
having received a silver piece once, but I may be deluded), although I
now get a copper more than half the time, it seems. Anyone with a
higher skill who managed to get more? In terms of cash received, are
there "good" begging targets and "bad" begging targets (other than pets
and ships)?
