[QUOTE="roguish, post: 9434230, member: 7046843"] I'm listing first general rules that apply, and then specific methods arranged by party level (it's a group game!). Note that the number next to classes is class lvl where the relevant ability is gained, the number next to feats is class level required to take it, and the number next to spells is spell level. The confusion about stealth rules will NOT be addressed here because who knows how it works, I may revisit it if we get any clarifications from the designers. Work in progress, by all means feel free to correct any mistakes and add anything I missed!
