[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 7894149, member: 93670"] 7 now your starting to see As soon as the druid or ranger suggest casting pass without a trace on the ranger, someone in the party would suggest they not waste the slot & just wait here while milo checks it out. It got to be so problematic in that game that even the ranger started nodding his head whenever the AT would say something like " $d20Roll plus like a billion... so... $sillyResult" & at least once pointed out that the AT probably didn't even need to roll. The ranger eventually quit even trying to stealth because he was always the weak link that got detected no matter the situation if they were both out there. Even if I as the gm didn't make it clear who/what was seen the fact that the AT would need to roll bad & him good for him to not be mathmatically the weak link left an understandable bad taste in his mouth. Ranger favored terrain allows them to stealth at speed rather than half speed so the ranger could more quickly reach ta further away point he'd get spotted at & run back past the invisible stalker AT who was then lined up to be even more awesome if anything was giving chase to the ranger.
