[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 6775169, member: 2067"] I wonder if the "half speed" thing doesn't assume using an action. Because if you don't need to use an action to hide, you can move "double" your normal speed - using the dash action. But if you DO need to use your action to hide, you essentially wouldn't be taking those Dash actions, resulting in a (comparatively) halved speed. Moving to a new location would fit in the category of "something like that," no? The logic I'd use would say that if you're hiding behind a low wall, and you move along that low wall to a new place, you're not hiding in the same place anymore. In the new place, there's new conditions - new rocks, new divots, new things that you need to do to hide yourself - that would mean that the Stealth check you already rolled wouldn't apply, IMO. Roll a new one if you want to stay hidden - see if you can hide [I]here[/I]. And that takes an action. I'm leaning toward that interpretation in part based on my experiences with a party that makes ample use of stealth scouting - it seems like one roll shouldn't just apply for the whole affair. "Make a roll, then move up to your speed" is what happens round-by-round in that interpretation. And "move half speed" is what happens on longer timescales! [/QUOTE]
