I've been thinking about a reasonable set of house rules for combat stealth, and I wanted to throw it out there so you can all make fun of me.

No minor action required.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">If you are attacking an enemy whom you have not engaged yet (and who has not engaged you yet), roll against passive preception. Otherwise, roll against active perception. DM discretion here - if target has got you in his sights, he has engaged you even if he hasn't reached/attacked you yet.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You lose combat stealth in the square you are in when you hit your target OR when your target hits you. You can regain stealth by moving elsewhere.</li> </ul></blockquote>
