[QUOTE="alanpossible, post: 4374393, member: 67772"] uh, and what about the fact that "In combat, creatures are assumed to be paying attention in all directions"? (P188) The rogue somehow stealthily sneaks across the well lit room while in direct line of sight to the orcs and carefully takes cover behind some boxes....and nobody notices? Maybe if they were distracted. But isn't that what the distraction ability of the bluff score is specifically for? (suggesting it isn't something that can be done as standard). Or the fact that "If a creature has unblocked line of sight to you...the creature automatically sees you" (ie. no check)? The orcs have unblocked LOS as the rogue moves towards the crates. Only in the last square (behind the crates) does he have any cover. I could accept your answer if the rogue only became stealthed in that last square when he gains cover. But then your interpretation is more-or-less the one presented here. I'm not convinced it's quite as obvious as you seem to be making out. [/QUOTE]
