[QUOTE="clearstream, post: 8426737, member: 71699"] I will do. FWIW it also works amazingly well at the table. My players frequently want to jump something (recently, puddles of aboleth slime in ToA). [LIST] [*]Is your Strength > distance? No need to roll. [*]Is your Strength < distance? You'll need to roll twice the difference. [/LIST] Say Strength = 10 and distance is 15'? You'll need a Strength (Athletics) check of least 10. The guidance on stealth is that the roll 'rides'. Say they get past those two guards? Their 12 rides until they're spotted or stop sneaking. So have the succeeded or failed against the possible future guards they have not reached yet? Passive Wisdom (Perception) is continuous, right? Always on while awake. No roll, and yet, it can come to beat some DC. Stealth can ride much like passive Perception. I also use passive Investigation and passive versions of the knowledge skills for what you just know, without needing to roll.
