They do have to declare it if they're doing it, as with anything. You probably have to apply some kind of additional rule though about not attempting to stealth again if they roll low though, right? If the heavily-armored cleric throws a 3 for a result, I can imagine players asking to try again and the DM feeling the need to deny it. Which can't happen in my resolution method.I ask for a Dexterity (Stealth) check if and when it actually matters, which is when (sing along everybody!) the outcome is uncertain and there's a meaningful consequence for failure. You move a Slow pace while moving stealthily which affects how much ground you can cover per unit of time. Since wandering monster checks are tied to time, the slower you move, the more checks you get for the amount of area you cover compared to other paces.A call for a Dexterity (Stealth) check is likely to clue the into an encounter of some kind occurring, or at least a situation where their stealthiness is being tested. But I don't see that as a problem.</blockquote>
