Stealth Quick Reference

Going into "Stealth" mode

If Guards are completely unaware of the Scouts, the Scouts' Stealth Pools begin with all tokens on the Stealth side. Otherwise the Scouts roll their Hiding against the guard's highest Passive Alertness. Any uncanceled Hits flip Stealth Tokens into "Stealthed" with Critical Hits flipping 2 Tokens.

Characters also roll their Hiding skill during Combat when they want to go into "Stealth" and have moved into an area with Concealment.

Distract

Events

Events are generated by PC or Guard behavior. Player Characters can spend 1 Motivation to React to an Event. This can allow them to spend Stealth Tokens or move quickly to avoid a more serious event.

Noise Event

The GM rolls a number of Red Dice based on the level of Noise generated. This Noise will be automatically detected at a given range:

Number of Hits	Detection Range
1	Melee
2	Close
3	Short
4	Medium
5	Long
6	Extreme

The PC can react to this event to move out of the area.

Spotted Event

The PC crossed in front of a Guard's visual range or accidentally flipped a Camera or Guard Question Token and became Spotted. If the PC can spend 1 Motivation, they can react and move quickly out of sight before a Detection Event occurs. Guards typically begin Searching on their next Turn.

Detection Event

If the PC was noticed either on a Guard's turn or because of a Noise or Spotted Event, they can spend Stealth Tokens to increase their Sneak or Hide totals to exceed that of the Guard's detection roll. If the PC cannot or will not do this, a Detection Event is generated. Global Suspicion raises by 1.
