[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 6410168, member: 2011"] I get what you are saying, I just think that a trained Stealth invisible PC should only be rolling if there is a reasonably decent chance of being found. The invisible PC is in a room looking for stuff. A maid opens the door. The PC freezes. No need for a check in my mind unless the maid walks directly to him (through his location, whatever). I do understand that in this scenario, the DM might want to add to the suspense of the scene, especially if it is a small room and he asks for a check. But a large banquet room? I probably would not even bother. And even if the maid were to hear something, without seeing something, she would probably just shrug it off and go on with her day. The vast majority of NPCs shouldn't be suspicious of an occasional strange sound or odor or whatever. In the tavern's beer cellar and the stableboy hears a sound? It's probably rats or the creaking of the floor boards above. I wouldn't expect most NPCs to suspect invisible creatures. [/QUOTE]
