Re: [BNW] Missing pages - Stealth Skill

[MKirk2112@aol.com]

This is a quote directly from the rulebook about the stealth skill:

Stealth allows the hero to hide--even in plain sight--within reason.

The key part to that sentence is "within reason."  If you try toting a sniper 
rifle through the grocery store as you shop, people are going to notice.  Try 
sneaking around from shadow to shadow instead.

Stealth is an opposed roll.  The hero who's sneaking around makes a roll for 
her current conditions, and that lasts until the conditions change--someone 
turns a light on in the room, she moves, someone walks into where she's 
hiding, and so on.

If the hero's in plain sight (or coulde be seen by someone with sharp eyes), 
then someone trying to spot her must make a perception roll.  If she's 
actually hidden behind something--entirely out of sight--then the hunter must 
make a search roll instead.

The Guide should feel free to add to the hider or the hunter's rolls as much 
as the situation calls for.  Poor lighting conditions, for instance, would 
favor the hider, while a hight scope would help the hunter.

P.S.:  With regards to your earlier question about missing pages, I thought 
of something else I wanted to add to my original response to your post.  I 
just took my books back to where I purchased them and they gave me either a 
refund or a replacement after I showed them the problem.  I assume they just 
send them back to the distributor who gives them a refund.
