The one time our barbarian charged ahead and started a fight and we had to fight together, we wound up killing a couple dozen people, along with some innocent guards and bystanders. We're encouraged to use subterfuge if we can, but we're facing some pretty steep stuff sometimes...like 8th level antimagic spells sitting on gates without any warning.But anyways, not everyone in the party is suited to this, and we've had mixed results with regards to stealth when that really should be the ideal approach for minimizing casualties. Also, in most of these stealth runs I wasn't operating solo. Usually I'd have backup nearby, or second operative with stealth inside of message range. Basically on a successful mission I might check ahead so far, and message back where the guards are, following by us using the nearest opening and our druid casting Pass Without Trace to get the party where they need to be.So whatever the mechanics are doing, her intention is to have a fair number of our missions involve stealth, so I'm trying to find a way do that without completely falling flat. We have the magical coverage of pass without trace, but scouting these compounds is hard. If anything, I was told that I should've just used a level 1 detect magic before going on, but I can only concentrate on 1 spell at a time, so...Plus, you can't even use stealth if you don't have cover, so I pretty much have to either use invisibility or something else along those lines.</blockquote>
