Okay started a new campaign with a new party because I TPKed the last one (mission accomplished banner was unfurled).
One of my players has a Drow rogue ranged super stealth character.
So this is how we have been doing it. Every round he has been getting behind something, a pillar, a statue, a wagon etc and rolling a stealth check. It been pretty much in the low to mid 20s everytime. Now the monsters we've been fighting have perceptions of maybe +1 or +2, they have almost no chance of getting a 20+ check. So every round he has gotten the big combat advantage green light. He shoots then moves to a new sniper spot.
Is this how its supposed to work? Never used much stealth before, being partial to the half-orc brutal scoundrel myself.
