[QUOTE="Shag, post: 5279878, member: 13289"] Okay started a new campaign with a new party because I TPKed the last one (mission accomplished banner was unfurled). One of my players has a Drow rogue ranged super stealth character. So this is how we have been doing it. Every round he has been getting behind something, a pillar, a statue, a wagon etc and rolling a stealth check. It been pretty much in the low to mid 20s everytime. Now the monsters we've been fighting have perceptions of maybe +1 or +2, they have almost no chance of getting a 20+ check. So every round he has gotten the big combat advantage green light. He shoots then moves to a new sniper spot. Is this how its supposed to work? Never used much stealth before, being partial to the half-orc brutal scoundrel myself. :) The character in question: level 2 Drow, Rogue Rogue Tactics: Cunning Sneak Rogue: Sharpshooter Talent Sharpshooter Talent: Sharpshooter Talent (Crossbow) Darkfire: Darkfire Charisma ABILITY SCORES Str 10, Con 12, Dex 18, Int 10, Wis 10, Cha 18. AC: 17 Fort: 12 Reflex: 17 Will: 15 HP: 29 Surges: 7 Surge Value: 7 TRAINED SKILLS Stealth +12, Thievery +10, Insight +6, Streetwise +10, Acrobatics +10, Perception +6 FEATS Level 1: Weapon Proficiency (Superior crossbow) Level 2: Backstabber POWERS Rogue at-will 1: Deft Strike Rogue at-will 1: Sly Flourish Rogue encounter 1: Distracting Shot Rogue daily 1: Trick Strike Rogue utility 2: Fleeting Ghost ITEMS Superior crossbow, Leather Armor, Adventurer's Kit, Thieves' Tools Party consists of 2 rogues (one ranged(this one) and a brutal scoundrel), a half elf battlemind, a half elf bard and a dwarven paladin. Quite the team. [/QUOTE]
