[QUOTE="Hriston, post: 7016282, member: 6787503"] Your ranger can sneak while moving at a normal pace while in her favored terrain, but that doesn't mean circumstances appropriate for sneaking are always present while in such terrain. Wilderness is a pretty broad terrain type and can contain circumstances both appropriate and in appropriate for sneaking. It's ultimately the DM's call whether such circumstances are present or not. If you are sneaking through an area of dense woods, for example, which I would deem an appropriate circumstance, and then pass through an open meadow where circumstances are not appropriate for sneaking, I would require a new Stealth roll if you wanted your ranger to continue sneaking upon reentering the dense woods on the other side of the meadow. Assuming circumstances are appropriate for sneaking, a new check is not required to continue sneaking after an encounter unless your ranger does something during the encounter to give away her position or come out into the open. Likewise, if she is noticed by a creature, a new check would be required to sneak away from the same creature. But as long as appropriate circumstances are continuously present, and you haven't revealed yourself or been noticed, then you are correct, and your original check result should stand. [/QUOTE]
