Our player group has been batting around a question regarding Concealment and the Chameleon Suit. How invisible are they?
We've so far been treating the Chameleon suit similar to the cloaking armor in Ghost in the Shell. Effectively invisible, but less of if your moving. Concealment I've been purposely not using (as a player) so we wouldn't have to deal with it. But finally we've decided we need to. How many hits on a perception check do you require from your player to notice someone who is standing directly in front of them? Stupid sounding question, but depending on how the armor works, it might be a valid one. And the concealment power. Don't even know where to start on that one. I hate the "it's magic" arguement as sole justification, but the fact stands, it is magic. How does everyone treat/handle these two? It's a silly question to ask if someone can see someone standing in the middle of a football field, but when special equipment/powers comes into play, where to start? (Hope this was coherent, I have two people who just came home talking to me.) |
