Message: <blockquote data-quote="deleteme123456" data-source="post: 4357660" data-attributes="member: 65832">This looks ridiculously broken in favor of stealthers. Aware/unaware is hardly an issue. Find some trees to provide cover, make your stealth roll at +9 (level 1 rogue, +4 dex, +5 trained) vs the passive perception (the highest perception of a level 1 monster is 5), this means you need to roll a 7 or higher, which should happen about 2/3rd of the time. You then move 1 square after your attck into the other square of trees and hide again. Repeat ad nauseum. At level 2 the highest perception monsters are Elves which might not be suitable for all campaigns. Aside from them you're not getting higher than +8 through level 3. At the Rogue's second level he takes skill focus: stealth and gains a total of +4 from that and from half-level, now he's at +13 rolling vs 18 fixed, needs a 6 or higher. That's the BEST-case scenario for the enemies (with elves he's at +13 vs 21 passive, so he neeeds a 9, still 60% success)If the monster miraculously DOES use its standard action to find you (this in RAW as being a minor action, PHB 281) it can't do anything because ... oh that's right, it used its standard action. By next turn you'll be hidden again. If it warns its friends, better hope they aim really well, since they're at -5 to hit. You didn't even specify that the -5 to hit doesn't apply to area and close attacks (RAW, PHB 281). Or better yet, aim at the monster that's last in initiative before you. It'll be completely powerless because by the time it warns its friends, you'll be in a new spot.</blockquote>
