[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 5934232, member: 20323"] You've got a couple options there. The two that I'd lean toward are group skill checks and skill challenges (or a variant thereof). With a group skill check, set a DC then have everyone in the group make a check. If half or more succeed then the group passes stealthily. If not then the group fails. Alternately, you could allow stealth trained PCs to aid untrained/loud ones with sufficiently high checks. Or you could have one PC take spot against a fairly high DC - their single check determines success / failure for the group and the other PCs simply aid. Skill challenges (or a variant thereof) could be designed so that other skills assist in the group's overall stealth, or could even be necessary. For example, shooting out a magic searchlight (a long range shot), diving into cold water and holding breath until patrol passes (Endurance) climbing outside of a building at night (Athletics), etc. I like this approach better, but classes that don't get many skills (eg.
