Stealth Basics
Hiding
Sneaking
A character who is not moving and hiding behind an object requires an Observation check to detect them. This is based on sight. With 50% or greater Concealment/Cover, it takes a Basic Observation check to detect them.
With 90% or greater Concealment/Cover, it takes an Advanced Observation check to detect them.
A Thief does not need to worry about this, however – a Hide in Shadows check creates effective cover or exploits the environment to find it. Checks to detect a Thief who has successfully made these rolls are Expert Observation checks.
A character may spend 1 more Move Point per tile to Sneak. If they do this, they require an Advanced check to detect audibly if they are moving on soft terrain such as sand or a Basic check to detect audibly if they are moving on hard terrain such as stone or otherwise audible. If the character spends 2 Move Points extra per tile to Sneak, they may make this Observers ion check into an Advanced Check, even on hard terrain.
A Thief, meanwhile, whilst sneaking uses Move Silently. If they are Small or Tiny, they do not suffer a speed penalty. If their check is successful, it takes an Expert Observation check to detect their movement.
