[QUOTE="Donatello, post: 4365666, member: 987"] On their initiative. Stealth is an action, and they have to try and take cover to avoid notice. You can't just disappear. When its their turn. Perception isn't an action, but no sense mucking up the works by having them roll at the same time the goblins are. I would have each PC roll once, on their turn, and point out which goblins they see based on which Stealth rolls they defeated. Thier first shot, if they're succesfully hidden. Attacking always ends Stealth, and since Stealth allows you to "avoid notice", not "disappear from view" they would cease to have CA after the first attack. Some kind of distraction or other situation would have to arise to allow them to attempt Stealth again. Now I know Goblin Sharpshooters have the Sniper ability, so if they attack and miss, they're still hidden and get CA on their next attack. If they attack and hit, their Stealth is blown. If they're hidden from view the PC's can attack the square the Sharpshooter is in with a -5 penalty. If they're spotted, attack as per the normal Cover rules. At least, that's how I'd do it. [/QUOTE]
