[QUOTE="Lakesidefantasy, post: 8354874, member: 6682043"] Yes. I require us to roll Stealth checks only when and if it's needed, rather than when we decide to be sneaky. This helps to preserve the tension rather than knowing if we are well hidden (high roll) versus not well hidden (low roll). In fact, depending on the circumstances, I always consider us to be sneaking to some degree when moving through a dangerous landscape (dungeon, lava pit, giant's entrails). The difference between movement at a Slow Pace versus a Normal Pace just doesn't matter most of the time. We are not typically keeping track of how many hundreds of feet we're moving per minute. If the circumstances require that we do know, then we'll decide if we're going to be stealthy or not; but most of the time it's not an issue. Ya' know, I feel there is a strong desire to end debates with rules, I feel it too, but I believe this latest iteration of the game recognizes that that is not achievable while still having a game we can play without a computer.
