Message: <blockquote data-quote="Scion" data-source="post: 1922633" data-attributes="member: 5777">Personally, I think that a 'master thief' would have more than +10 move silently.If there are 20 guards listening and trying to spot I would definately expect them to have a better chance than a single guard. It should be harder to sneak past multiple people, that is part of the reason why more than one person is put to guard places. It is harder to take out multiple people at once and it is harder to sneak past multiple people at once.Low level guards taking 10 will effectively never spot or hear anyone with any skill at all, it would be nearly as good to simply leave the corridor open, at least it would cost less.But, put 4 of these low level guards around and they can watch more area and are more likely to catch people, even if they talk with one another. That doesnt necissarily make them less observant, it might even help them stay awake, or on track, or lets one notice if the other suddenly succumbs to some magical effect.Point being, it 'should' be harder to sneak past multiple people than just one, and the +2 demonstrates this or multiple rolls or a combination (as I supported above). It isnt a huge bonus, and it is still possible to sneak past multiple guards, but at least it is more difficult.The master thief (likely with at least a +20) probably couldnt be spotted except by quite a few guards who have several ranks in spot at least, good then. Instead of him being able to walk past any number of people who have a +19 or less.</blockquote>
