[QUOTE="clearstream, post: 4401713, member: 71699"] Anticipating you wouldn't be swayed I tried for more detail from WotC CS. I posted [I]I see I need just a little more info. If character X is actively using their skill, say they're using stealth to hide in their turn, while character Y is alert to them, but it's not Y's turn. Do both characters still roll dice for the opposed skill check?[/I] To which was answered [I]Any time a character wants to attempt to do something without another creature noticing they will need to make an opposed stealth check. This is true regardless of what turn it is.[/I] This was the same representative who answered [I]1. Yes, both parties roll.[/I] To the question [I]1. When opposed checks are made, do both parties always roll dice?[/I] Both parties [B]always[/B] roll dice when opposed checks are made regardless of what turn it is, i.e. when one of them [I]cannot[/I] be actively using their skill. So for an opposed check for Stealth regardless of what turn it is both parties always roll dice, even the one not actively using Perception. Why don't we work out the framing of a question together, so we're both happy with what is asked, and I will put that to WotC CS? -vk [/QUOTE]
