[QUOTE="Nail, post: 1398708, member: 224"] Exactly! That's what I'm "looking ahead" to see. The basic idea of an [i]Awareness[/i] skill (one that combines all the senses) is a good one, both simple and comprehensive enough to use in play. Nifft's idea of using bonuses looks good too. ...and of course, all of this requires a new "opposing skill". (Monte's [i]Stealth[/i] skill looks like a perfect candidate.) Arguing that we don't have a "move sentlessly" skill and therefore can't have have a Scent skill-equivalent....is a bit silly. :) So....if a rogue has maxed out his Stealth skill, we assume that he is hard to:[list][*]smell - he keeps some Speed Stick handy, [*]see - he knows how to stay out of sight with 3l33t ninja skills, [*]hear - see the ninja reference above, and [*]feel - as in, "feel the vibrations of his movement". One assumes you'll still be able to feel his blade just fine. :o [/list] ...which would mean (among other things) that a 20th level rogue might be worth playing! Sounds good! [/QUOTE]
