Am I crazy, or did they just turn Stealth into full Ninja mode?

[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 8948011, member: 15700"] Yep. It's why in my own system, I give enough information to hopefully give GMs a guideline, but not too much that you have to memorize a bunch of rules. [I]When attempting to move stealthy, you must move at half your movement speed or less and make a Agility ability check, adding any relevant modifiers. This result is the TCN value any creature attempting to find you must beat to detect you, using its perception (Intuition) roll. You can attempt to be stealthy as long as no creature you want to hide from can see you when you make an attempt and you have appropriate cover and/or concealment. You can’t just hide in the middle of an empty room; you need something to hide in or behind, such as deep shadows, a large rock, etc. Attempting any attack or casting a spell reveals you, unless otherwise noted. Creatures that aren’t actively searching still have a chance to detect you. If twice their Mental modifier is higher than or equal to your stealth check TCN, they will have detected the you. Other creatures, such as many beasts, will have a trait that identifies the TCN number they will automatically succeed at detection with. For Example, Raven wants to move stealthily while exploring a dungeon. She rolls her SL pool resulting in a 6. Any creature attempting to discover her needs to make an Intuition ability check against a TCN of 6. Creatures not actively looking for her would need to have a Mental modifier of at least +3 to detect her unless they have a Detect trait in their statblock, like the mighty but adorable badger. A badger has a Detect trait of 7 out to 30 feet. Because 7 is higher than Raven’s 6, if Raven comes within 30 feet of the badger, she is automatically detected even if the badger isn’t actively searching for her.[/I] [/QUOTE]
