Hide

Skill Actions · Stealth

Skill Stealth
Cost 1 AP
  • Secret

You tuck in behind cover or greater cover, or deeper into concealment, to become hidden rather than observed. The GM rolls your Stealth check in secret against the Perception save of each creature that can see you but that you have cover from or are concealed from. Your cover's levels of Advantage apply to the check.

Success: If the creature could see you, you're now hidden from it instead of observed; if you were already hidden from or undetected by it, you stay that way. If you lose your cover or concealment from it, you become observed again. Doing anything except Hide, Sneak or Step ends it: if you Strike a creature you have 1 level of Advantage on that attack and then become observed; anything else makes you observed just before you act, unless the GM decides otherwise (a particularly quiet action might go unnoticed, perhaps with another Stealth check). If a creature finds you by Seeking, you must Hide successfully to become hidden from it again.
