[QUOTE="Kordeth, post: 4399924, member: 5036"] You don't have to check each square, you just have to assess the movement-based penalties based on how many squares he moved. OK, up till now I've been taking you at your word that obscured squares incurred a Perception penalty, but I've just double checked. They don't. The [i]only[/i] difference is in the result of the Stealth check: - If the Stealth check beats the Perception check, it doesn't matter--you're hidden. - If the Perception check wins and the rogue has concealment or cover, he is seen. - If the Perception check wins and the rogue has [i]superior[/i] cover or [i]total[/i] concealment, the spotter knows the rogue is there and the approximate direction and distance, but that's it. So there's no tracking DCs square-by-square or adjusting results. It only matters at all if the Stealth-user fails the roll, and then it's easy to say "okay, he knows where you are as you move here, here, and here, but loses sight of here, he only knows you're inside that fog cloud."
