Pathfinder 2e's Stealth and Detection rules in 8 MINUTES (Rules Lawyer)

14K views • 1 year ago • 9:41 I DARE myself to make a short video, to explain one of Pathfinder's more intricate subsystems! (EDIT: This turned out to be an EIGHT minute explanation. Woohoo!) A few more rules that I didn't include in this basic overview: -Stealth checks generally are secret rolls. You don't know if you succeed! -Cover provides a circumstance bonus to Stealth checks: cover gives +2, and greater cover gives +4. -4:05 What DOES your nose do? It lets you notice the presence of something... UNNOTICED is another condition that rarely comes up. It means you don't know a creature is nearby at all. -POINT OUT ( 1 action): if you detect a creature, you can indicate to your allies where the creature is. (It goes from being Undetected to Hidden to them): https://2e.aonprd.com/Actions.aspx?ID=2315&Redirected=1 0:00 Intro 0:41 Detection conditions 3:47 Senses 5:02 Example 5:59 Sneak 7:39 Seek My original two-part series: Part 1 - Explanation https://youtu.be/W6dionuX9ec?si=uL2ssnfXlBgNPh5- Part 2 - Combat Demonstration: https://youtu.be/xDEHGP4RbcA?si=D9bZnJd0dchK58fn ============================ LIKE & SUBSCRIBE!
