[QUOTE="Primitive Screwhead, post: 6044055, member: 20805"] I would prefer that racial benefits for keen eye/keen ear/keen smell be reflected by a 'sense radius' rather than a bonus to the skill check. As an example, low light vision {defined as the radius beyond a light sources 'bright' radius that the character can see things clearly} Human, range 10' Elf, range 20' Dwarf, range 30' Hobbit, range 40' Things like the dwarven knack for finding hidden doors in stonework would be a bonus to the check, but only when looking for that specific thing. And yes, I think there should be a clearly defined 'range' for sounds and smells. Something like: very quiet or whisper: 5' quiet or murmur: 10' soft spoken: 20' normal voice: 30' strident: 40' Drill Sergeant: 50' Then keen hearing adds to that distance that you can clearly hear from. Ditto for smells, going from faint smell to overpoweringly pungent. [/sidetrack] :) OP.. very well described. Thank you [/QUOTE]
