Stealth and Perception
The Dragon's Neck has a custom Stealth & Perception system in the pipeline.
For the present time, the Stealth & Perception system functions largely like vanilla, with a few changes as follows:
Skill Function
- Perception in The Dragon's Neck is a bucket skill that gives a point of both Listen and Spot.
- Stealth in The Dragon's Neck is a bucket skill that gives a point of both Hide and Move Silently.
Modifiers
Neverwinter Nights will give characters various bonuses and penalties to their rolls depending on their situation and environment.
All Perception rolls
- If the observer is in combat, they gain -10 to their Perception rolls.
- If the observer is standing still, they gain +5 to their Perception rolls.
- If the sneak is standing still, they gain +5 to their Stealth rolls.
Visual Perception rolls
- If the sneak is in the back arc of the observer, they gain +5 to their Hide rolls.
- If it is nighttime, then the sneak gains +5 to their Hide rolls, unless they have a light source on them.
- This means that if it is nighttime and the sneak behind the observer, they get a total of +10 to their Hide rolls.
- If it is nighttime and the sneak has a light source on them, they gain -10 to their Hide rolls.
Audible Perception rolls
- The sneak gains an additional +1 to their Move Silently roll for every 3m between them and the observer.
- The sneak gains +5 to Move Silently for every 40cm of object (including creatures) between them and the observer in outdoor areas.
- The sneak gains +2 to their roll if the line of sight is blocked and they are within 4 tiles in indoor areas.
