[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 1322184, member: 1465"] Almost unbelieavable... on the bus to work this morning I was thinking exactly about how as a DM I could handle a situation of an assassin catching the party asleep. I was thinking of him sneaking into the inn (where usually there's no need for someone to stay awake and gurading) and CdG'ing one random character. Were you scrying on me? ;) In any case, I didn't find a proper way to handle this at all. CdG is outright too powerful to fail, but of course every assassin would always use it. Listen check of course, but if the check is failed the PC is dead - just because of a failed single Listen check. I didn't think too much about it this morning - the bus ride is only half an hour ;) - but my feeling was that as a DM I would automatically make the assassin fail his Move Silently check at the last second and let some other PC wake up.
