Search results

It defines that in the previous line. An enemy "Finds You" when it takes the search action and its check exceeds your stealth roll. Or, as has been pointed out, if they have a passive perception greater than your stealth roll.

As Mistwell pointed out, Passive perception still exists and can still detect someone who's taken the hide action, requiring no action. What the DC 15 thing effectively does is give a Floor to passive perception for all creatures of at least 15.

No, your only have to meet those criteria to ENTER the invisible condition. You remain as such until you do one of the listed actions which breaks it: Making a sound, being found by an enemy (by them taking the Search action), making an attack roll, or casting a spell with a verbal component...

Its a common misconception that D&D has rules for things other than combat.

I would not be surprised if they straight up are eliminating it as a concept.

Does this eliminate Passive Perception? Are passive checks even a thing in onednd?

WotC has realized that most people use 5e for Fantasy Blorbo Simulator and their cutting off vestigial stuff meant to appeal to the OSR crowd.

Yes, it does. From the DMG: "When calculating a monster's damage output, also account for special off-turn damage-dealing features, such as auras, reactions, legendary actions, or lair actions." It is a reasonable assumption that, given a party of 4 PCs, that at least 3 of them will damage the...

A game is lighter the more of the following qualities it has: -Low Page count -Few/no mechanical character features, spells, or powers -Focus on "freeform" or "write-in" features -Single, Unified resolution system -No modifiers, chart lookup, or math done with rolls -No/few procedures and no...

I am calculating using the 2014 definition of CR.

Wotc: haha don't worry about it ;)

The Original Ancient Green calculated out to be effectively CR 23 (Which is normal for dragons - their actual CR is usually 1 less than their printed CR so that fights against them are harder than expected). This one calculates out to CR 25.

Outside of maybe my first 1-2 sessions where everyone at the table was learning the rules, I've not had this happen at all in pathfinder during exploration. The rules are very simple, straightforward, and easy to apply. It takes maybe 20 seconds to look something up and resolve as needed.

As you've said yourself - that's not a 5e-specific mechanic.

Shadowdark is not based on 5e. The only mechanic it takes directly from 5e is the Adv/Disadv system.

AD&D is a rules heavy, crunchy game. So is BECMI - see Weapon Mastery, the class/prestige class system, etc. B/X is Rules Medium, at best. I'd argue its also rules heavy. Into the Odd is Rules Light - the rules are like 2 pages. Lasers and Feelings is rules lite. Honey heist is rules...

Exploration in PF2 is extremely fast, I don't understand what you're talking about.

We should start calling it D&D Next
