[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 7799805, member: 58172"] The original post raises interesting issues for skill resolution. If orcs have a vigilant lookout, then I might consider the possibility of approaching undetected to be autofail, unless the player can come up with a convincing way to bypass or distract the lookout. If the player implements a convincing tactic, such as under the cover of night and fog, then I might consider it no longer autofail, and instead prefer the contest to be between the character and a collective roll for the orcs, using the highest perception check plus ‘helping actions’ from other orcs − possibly giving advantage or disadvantage, depending. The possibility of a flat autofail (DC ‘40’ sotospeak) alternatively raises the possibility of a flat DC 20 for the ‘situation’, before any orc skill checks come into consideration. This possibility being the point of the original post, is an interesting issue. [/QUOTE]
