Message: <blockquote data-quote="LifebaneSoulshadow" data-source="post: 605967" data-attributes="member: 7475">From what I read from the rules taking '10' requires no more extra time than regular use of a skill. What the rules do say is that there must be no distractions. To me no distractions implies that I'm focusing or concentrating on a given skill to do it better. (thus the +10 skill boost)My question is, can one take '10' while moving silently and take '10' while hiding at the same time?Is it possible to take '10' on move silently and not on hiding, while moving about?My initial thoughts having not been able to find a ruling in the FAQ or books, is that one can only take '10' on any one skill at a time. Having been trained in the military how to stealthily move through a forest, I find it very difficult to concentrate on moving perfectly silent....and do a good job at being hidden. Sure I can pick terrain that would help remaining hidden, but I cant concentrate on the crouching and slinking about when I'm worrying where I'm putting my next footstep, so that I dont make any noise.Thoughts? Does anyone know where there is a ruling?P.S. A player of mine brought up a good point where maybe a PC could take '10' to hide....be hidden and then concentrate on taking '10' to spot around himself. P.P.S.  I could also see how trying to take '10' on move silently and trying to hide could classify as a distraction.</blockquote>
