Stealth is such a core part of the standard dnd experience (both for rogues sneaking past guards, and parties being ambushed by sneaky monsters), and it is an INCREDIBLY powerful ability. But the rules are not great, there is lots of vague language, there are lots of very common stealth scenarios really not covered in the rules...its a bit of a mess. That would be my number 1 section to just rewrite with a lot more explicit language.So what is yours?</blockquote>
