[QUOTE="Gaiden, post: 2302970, member: 103"] I never play my character like an idiot: if I am scouting I'll take full advantage of 100% cover/concealment to limit checks to Listen vs. M.S. rolls (to statistically limit the chance of botching a roll); if I have any inkling that there is a creature with blindsight I will always use cover to hide rather than concealment (terrain permitting); if I am I am in any sort of wooded area, I'd always move in the trees (as opposed to on the ground) to eliminate the possibility of tremorsense, etc (assuming I have the ranger spell that grants the benefits of the brachiation feat). Moreover, knowing ahead of time that DM's would do this I will be sure to point out what I am doing and why (reminding them of the pertinent rule) - like you admonish with scent. Thanks for the suggestion regarding the cragtop archer - I have to admit, I really didn't even give the book consideration as I thought it mostly pertained to dwarves, gnomes and races not allowable in LG. The class looks interesting. They have a decent number of skill ranks which is really the key. I still think the ranger is better though because of the spell access. Again, with the advent of Races of the Wild and Complete Adventurer, the Archer Ranger spell selection is phenominal. [/QUOTE]
