Message: <blockquote data-quote="Eloy" data-source="post: 4569822" data-attributes="member: 10848">I still have some difficulty understanding how Sense Surroundings (application of the Use the Force skill) works. Can anyone please help me resolve the following example?1) A jedi who has access to Sense Surroundings as part of Use the Force skill, enters a room which is in total darkness. The jedi has no light sources. There are 2 bounty hunters in the room wearing darkvision goggles. Bounty Hunter A is standing in the open (i.e. if the room were lit, bounty hunter would be line of sight of the jedi) and Bounty Hunter B is hidden behind a computer console, which grants him total cover. For argument’s sake, let us say there is no surprise round (Bounty hunters are holding their actions, or aiming, or whatever)Jedi wins initiative, and uses a swift action to activate Sense surroundings… What happense then? How does he locate the opponents and when can he attack them?2) What if instead of 2 bounty hunters, there are two sith apprentices, one in the open, the other behind the computer, and both are trying to conceal their presence in the Force (to oppose Sense Force checks). Does a use of the Sense Force skill help the Jedi find the sith?3) What if  there are no bounty hunters or sith, but instead, there is an open 3 meter deep pit several meters in front of the jedi. Can he detect the presence of the pit with Sense surroundings? What if the pit is covered, instead of open?Thanks a lot for your help!</blockquote>
