I am curious. Are these changes working to any good effect, and/or as advertised?

I can vouch for the effectiveness of these:

-Pure Barbarian's Bloody Roar
-Pure Fighter's Warlord's Rumble
-Hellball
-Bigby's Crushing Hand

The Stalwart slammer does not unstealth people.

It is usefull for bards which have high preform and disc, other than thatis't a bit useless....

In my experience, Stonehold will *not* unhips a a hipser. Actually in my experience they can fade in and out while stoneholded (which seems unreasonable). Also, knockdown will not unhips a hipser. That also seems ridiculous since if someone was knocked down unwillingly, would they really be able to hide or remain hidden?

[Shamed Monkey]

The only thing Stonehold does to me is alert people of my presence, as I'm immune to it. I've never seen anyone do anything while stoneholded otherwise.

One thing that makes me go 'hmmmm' is the taunt skill. While visible, an attacker can taunt you and hipsing does not break that queue. The attacker will run after you until he is next to you. If an attacker does follow you with a taunt in queue, even if you are hipsed (and they are unable to detect you) the taunt will sometimes provoke an attack if you are just standing there. I noticed this while trying to stand still once, trying to beat a listen check. To my surprise when i was taunted, i spontaniously attacked.

Well the technical part of HiPS is within 5' of a shadow (not your own). So if you get KD'd (by an attack) I think you should be able to HiPS just fine.

Taunt while I dont think it should allow the chase, should provoke the attack... you are after all taunted by the other toon to take a swing ';) I personally think Taunt should make it so you focus on that toon with attacking, exclusively.
