stealth?

[Travers]

Can someone explain stealth to me... how to use it, what +stealth items do, etc

Stealth limits how far the enemy can see you.

Raising stealth will make enemies less likely to see you.

It doesn't make them less LIKELY to see you. It raises the threshhold of what is required to make them notice you.

Stealth items are supposed to decreases the radius of the search where they will detect you. So stealth +1 item means you can be one square closer than without the item.

 

Worked real well on mine triggers, until Jeff moved one in the Warded Sea Caves.

Which means they are less likely to see you. I explain things differently then you.

Iffy, there is a very real difference between what you said and what I said. "Less likely" is inaccurate, plain and simple. That may be the end result if you are totally careless about how close you are to an enemy; however, since that IS under your control, likelihood never enters into things at all.

[Xaiya]

I never thought of it that way.

Sorry.

I hate to take sides, but Iffy might have been taking it literally. In real life if you are stealthy they would be less likely to see you, but the same holds true with your arguement, if you are stealthy you need to be closer for them to notice you.
