Greetings, Playground.
The whisper gnome caught my eye once again, so I decided to make one with the "Dark Creature" template. I would like this character to be focused around hiding (with the help from the Dark Creature template), going up to Sneak Attack for lots of damage, and then fade back into the shadows and repeat. I was reading that if you attack an enemy whilst you are hidden, they are considered flat-footed, allowing Sneak Attacks.
What is the penalty associated with attacking and then attempting to hide again (with the "Hide in Plain Sight" feat)? Which classes should I take? This character will be grouped with relatively optimized characters, so I would like recommendations that would place this character to that level.
Thanks.
PS: no Divine spells (campaign reasons)
