Sneak pulling is a technique I used for years with my rogue on live, dating way back to 1999.

There are many different interpretations of how this works. This thread covers alot of the ideas within the thread and with references to Monkly Business and The Safehouse.

https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=260642

For my server and from my memory, this implementation gets me close to my experience from live.

This is behind a rule, so no base behavior will change unless you enable it.

If it is enabled, then successful sneaking reduces the assist range. If behind the mob, it negates it - but you must remain sneaking while pulling. I spent many years hurling throwing weapons while peddling backwards with sneak/hide on with sow. If I peddled back out of aggro range before the missile hit, remaining sneaking, I often got 1 mob if its back was turned.

I like this implementation, and I'll just keep it local if the community doesn't want it.

I do think it's useful and think some server operators would turn it on.

I know P1999 did alot of work on sneak pull, but I don't know their details.

Code wise it's fine, but I have no knowledge of this mechanic.
