Stealth & Invisibility

(rules predominately on p177 & 183)

I disagree with the designers stated intent that unseen creatures are automatically detected by everyone unless they take the hide action. I will use common sense as much as possible to determine, usually resolved by a perception vs a situational DC – or vs a Stealth check, if you are actively trying to avoid notice. The stealth rules are vague and very much left to be a judgement call, so I’ll generally be flexible and avoid the minutiae of the designers’ intent & web clarifications.

add note on Blinding & Concealment - advantage only against targets you can locate but can't locate you - avoid the Darkness/Fog Cloud affect that makes archers more accurate...
