Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pax" data-source="post: 1284527" data-attributes="member: 6875">One way to limit things is, to base how large of an area they can watch for an extended time on either their Wisdom or their ranks of Concentration, whichever is higher (say, one 5x5x5 cube for every 3 or 4 points thereof).  I'd only do this if they wanted to keep hyper-alert watch for extended periods of time.  And, I'd require concentration checks if the periods of time extended to more than a few minutes -- say, 5 of them.  One concentration check per quarter hour, starting highish and rising with each subsequent check (say, DC 15, +1 or +2 for each subsequent check).Picture that being used for "dedicated overwatch" by a modern fireteam, over a two-hour period, rotating in a new soldier every 30 minutes at most.  It's doable, it's feasible that highly-trained (read: level 5+, with good CON scores and/or ranks in concentration) soldiers could and would set up that way, BUT ... they wouldn't do that in the middle of an open plain, they'd find themselves a nice spot, with only one or two approaches that needed watching that closely (IOW, a small area for any one soldier to stay that hyper-aware of).</blockquote>
