DM keeps calling for Stealth checks for Arcane Eye claiming it can ‘be run into by creatures’ or ‘bump into things and accidentally make noise’. Correct or incorrect? Not how I’d run it, but every DM handles things differently. Is it based on where the sensor is placed? I could see doing that if it’s […]
@mikemearls As a DM, how do you balance rogues with insane stealth and passive perception. It seems to ruin a lot of mechanics. With a PP of 27 (lvl 13) nothing is unseen it seems. Passive stealth of 24 makes him nearly invisible. Assassin seems to be able to one shot most bosses — Matt […]
Hi mike:Does a successful stealth check vs PP on the first round grants advantage(sneak purpose) over the surprised foes? Thanksi'd say yes so long as it is indeed possible to hide — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) August 23, 2017
@ChrisPerkinsDnD Hi Chris! Why does padded armor have stealth disadvantage while studded leather or chain shirt don't? — Bill Snow Jr. (@Billjr13) April 28, 2017 Because it's poofy and makes you easier to see. It turns you into the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/A8Tlb3vT69 — Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) April 28, 2017
In the latest Dragon Talk podcast, @Gregtito and I delve into the rules on stealth in #DnD. Give it a listen! https://t.co/UQT6aNfBnn — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) April 27, 2017 @Gregtito @raymondhweiss @armando_doval Sounds like a conversation w/ your DM on expectations is in order. I routinely allow my players to attempt crazy, skillful, super things. […]
@ChrisPerkinsDnD Would you allow a Halfling (small) to benefit from Naturally Stealthy while riding their animal companion (medium)? — Alexander Yount (@AlexanderpYount) October 31, 2016 No. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/eupOuo3M0S — (((Chris Perkins))) (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) October 31, 2016
@ChrisPerkinsDnD Do you personally use Group Checks to determine if a party is stealthy, or take the lowest result (as per p36 of LMoPhand)? — Ross Cody (@rossmcody) August 18, 2016 Depends. If the characters take steps to better conceal the loud, stinky, hulking barbarian, the former. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/pSjNzV1JcO — (((Chris Perkins))) (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) August 18, […]
@mikemearls Does hiding several times in combat require stealth check with Disadvantage? Or no penalties, because enemies are distracted? — Peter Müller (@ptr_mlr) August 11, 2016 I generally don't apply disadvantage unless the character uses the same tactic over and over again. #wotcstaff https://t.co/xpvfzv2lVl — (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) August 11, 2016
