Stealth Flow Chart

[zsek320]

Based on the confusion of stealth, I made a stealth flow chart... to try and make it as clear as possible...

This is based off of the entry in the PHB to try and give a better example of how stealth works than what WoTC has currently provided.

Below are version 1 and 2... to see Storminator's version go to http://www.enworld.org/forum/showpost.php?p=4349978&postcount=25

That's a lot of steps for one little skill.

I would change the No branch at the bottom, off "Did the roll beat the Stealth check by 10 or more?" from "you are unseen" to "creature knows direction to you, but not square."

Thanks for the work ... I will be using this in my own game and will point it out the another DM I play with. I think she will love this.

Thanks for pointing that out Storminator, I have updated the chart.

Wow...that, is handy.

However, I would add something after that, say on your turn after you've stealthed already. This helps clarify that this is what happens when you make a stealth check as part of any move or attack action. Want to attack someone from stealth *pull out flowchart*

Not to trivialize your work, but the fact that this chart is even necessary is just...it makes me want to kick things. It doesn't even go into combat detail, involving combat advantage and what not. This chart could feasibly be twice as large.

It would be great to see some other points on it like what counts for movement necessary for stealth. Beginning in a square with cover, ending in one, having cover the entire way? Can you use stealth with an attack action and stealth attack (I seem to remember seeing that debated). Does the movement need to be to a new square with cover or and you stealth in the same square after loosing cover (i.e. from behind a pillar). Like the chart though!

Very nice. I will post this where all my players can see it.

Thats because (as I understand it) this is debated, and has been given contradictory answers from Customer service. I have not seen them, so someone correct me if this is just rumor, but I've seen several people reference them.

Awesome chart, thanks!
