[QUOTE="Spyritwind, post: 1088291, member: 1912"] Just make one dice roll instead of two. Example: Syris the rogue is sneaking up on a bug bear gaurding the front of a cave. Syris has +10 with move silent and a +10 with hide. Syris will try to stay in the shadows along the face of the ridge as best he can, but the DM decides that the torch on a pole will still create a less than perfect environment for Syris especially since he is moving instead of remaining still and will give Syris a -2 to his hide skill. Syris rolls a D20 and gets a 7. 7+10 for moving silent ='s 17 & 7+10-2 for hiding ='s 15 The bug bear has a plus 6 in spot and plus 2 in listen. The DM rolls a 12 for the bugbear giving him an 18 for spot and a 14 for listen. The bugbear 'spots' Syris, but he didn't hear him coming. Just roll once instead of twice. The idea is that Syris wants to be undetected and the bugbear wants to detect. The possible varience in bonus between the skills and other modifiers will still be a factor though. [/QUOTE]
