Sneak

Stance

You can use Maneuver to sneak about unnoticed. As long as you are sneaking, you can only move or take an action as a Basic Action; you cannot do both while maintaining the stance.

It is pretty easy to remain unseen as long as you:

  • Stay still under concealment.

Concealment can be darkness (unless your quarry can see in the dark or has some other exceptional sense) or actual physical cover.

  • At a distance of at least Spot meters from observers.
  • Do nothing to draw attention to yourself.

Basically its impossible to locate you as long as you fulfill all three conditions. If you only fulfill two of the conditions you need to make a Maneuver roll opposed by Spot to remain unseen. If you fulfill none of the conditions you are spotted automatically.

People with good Spot skill might sense that someone is there and become wary even outside of these conditions, but they cannot pinpoint your location.
