A wise man once said, "The primary element of a surprise attack is surprise." The Sneak skill is the prime ingredient in that recipe. It can be used to tiptoe past the imperial guards, or follow someone through a dark alley. A character that is Sneaking moves at half speed.

Difficulty

Sneak attempts are always opposed by a Listen check, so there is no set difficulty. The table below lists some situational penalties to the roll.

Situation Check
The character must walk through water, mud, leaves, or a similar obstacle −2
The character is wearing overly noisy equipment, such as keys, chains, or metal boots −5
The character is trying to Sneak and move at full speed −10
The character is trying to Sneak and run −20

Opposed Rolls

Sneak checks are always opposed by another character or monster's Listen check.
