What are you arguing about?Why wouldn't you give the opponent the chance to spot them though? You JUST said, "which might allow you to be discovered".  So...the "might" is judged by a die roll of some kind, right? It's going to be either a stealth roll to beat a static passive perception, or a dynamic perception role to beat a prior hide roll.</blockquote>
