I know this must of been posted before but I can not find it after a fair amount of searching. Is there any advanced rules for stealth beyond the srd/core book?
Can someone help with this senerio and following questions:
We are adventuring in he sewers clearing out vermin and what not. My dwarf rogue had hidden after spotting a large group of beetles up ahead. He snuck up beyond the party to wait until the larger of the beetles moved into striking distance to set up the battlefield putting my dwarf at the ready to flank the large beetle. The smaller beetles rushed by him, he took no AOO waiting again for the big beetle to approach. A few rounds pass and I stay in place waiting. Then I get spit on by the beetle as a direct attack. Causing me to flee.
-How often do you recheck spot checks vs hide checks? Is that a check that happens every round? Or does the creature making the spot check need to know of your presence before reattempting another check? If my dwarf stayed still and did nothing the entire encounter with his successful initial hide and move silently would he be overlooked until he acted? I understand taking an action ends the hide status like attacking; but do non threatening actions end the hide status (like an invisibility spell). Out of combat do you roll to hide/MS every round?
-I have always played this situation as one set of successful move silently and hide checks and you are good until a new creature is encountered which then rolls verses your orginial roll.
-this has not become a problem at the table, the discussion with the dm was to find better written rules. Since I do plan on using stealth heavily with this character I would like to know the correct way the mechanics work.
