Guillaume De Morvan:
So how do the Stealth/Perception rolls work?
I thought that Stealth was the active skill, so I need to roll under (my Stealth) - (opposition Perception) on 2d10. Is that right? I supposed it could also work the other way around - if someone was actively searching they would need to roll over the same number on 2d10...?
The roll was Stealth ( 17) - Perception 7 = TN 10. The 2d10 roll made was 13 + some modifiers because your initial disguise roll was so good ( -2). Result= 11. So the disguise failed but not by very much, and the accent is 100% authenticas near as can be told. So the info your new friend has is that your not the yokel you appear to be, but you seem to be from Glissom nonetheless.
If someone was actively searching I'd be rolling on behalf of the one hiding.
Bonivant may well do it differently in his games but I'll keep it simple for now cos I'm feeling old and my memory ain't the best. :)
Any more Qs? I like Qs.
