[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 6685852, member: 5143"] As a side note, I really do think that it should be possible to determine if an enemy has successfully spotted you or heard you or not as long as you can see them. If you are sneaking down a corridor, it's possible that enemies in every room could have heard you. This is a great time to build up that tension. Was their Stealth check high enough? Are the enemies going to be ready for them when they open that door? If you open the door to a room and peek inside, using the door for cover and look at the enemies, you should see them looking in your direction if they've spotted you. Same thing if you dive behind a large pillar, hide and then peek out and look at the enemy. If they've seen you, it's very likely they'll give some indication of it. My general rule is that people can make a Stealth check and if they succeed and can see the enemy I'll tell them. Partially because it's so much easier when the Rogue standing in the doorway says "I move out of the doorway to where I can't be seen, I hide getting 22 on my check, then I move back to the door, I peek around the corner. Does it look like anyone is looking at me?" I can just simplify it and say "No one is looking at you, 22 beats all of their Passive Perceptions. Go ahead and have advantage on your attack for being hidden". [/QUOTE]
