[QUOTE="Folly, post: 4285214, member: 62919"] I personally like how the new Stealth rules. When I first read how you were running stealth it sounded wrong from how I read it. So I went back and checked the text again. The only roll that has to be made is the one by the person using stealth. All others use their passive check. The Passive check sections states: "When you’re not [b]actively[/b] using a skill, you’re assumed to be taking 10 for any opposed checks using that skill...." PG 179 In the Perception skill description(inside the box): "No action required—either you notice something or you don’t. Your DM usually uses your passive Perception check result. If you want to use the skill [b]actively[/b], you need to take a standard action or..." PG 186 Thus you have to use a standard action to roll a perception roll against someone using stealth. I have found in my play experience that the stealth goes rather quickly and hardly disrupts game flow. [/QUOTE]
