[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 6795510, member: 16814"] Combat doesn't mean you have a 20 in perception, are all seeing and all knowing to anything that you could possibly notice, either. That line just means that you use your perception as normal -- you aren't distracted and are actively paying attention up to the limits of your normal perception. If someone's stealth beats your perception, you lose track of them, can't see them, and can only guess as to where they are. You're still looking around and aware of what's around you (to your own personal limits), but that doesn't turn you into the god of perception where nothing can hide from you. People good at hiding are good enough to hide from you even when you're paying attention to your surroundings. But no one is good enough a hiding to do it without at least something to hide behind. This is meant to prevent WoW style stealth. [/QUOTE]
