So, yeah. The description for Distract reads "This ability may be used without breaking Stealth or Invisibility."
Drop into Sneak. Hit Distract. Now I'm no longer Sneaking. Seriously, y'all? It doesn't do what is clearly stated on the tin. Stealth play is already a basket of mismatched farkness. This ability sounded pretty cool (and was about the only reason I wanted to try the tree), but it just doesn't work with Sneak. I'm disgustipated.
