We have been encountering some difficulties in our group with Stealth be handled as an open test, such as it being not uncommon for a character with a skill of 3 to randomly roll something like a 16, while a character with a skill of six gets a bit unlucky and rolls nothing higher than a 5. It seems that the open test far too easily allows for a low skill to end up with an insane stealth score that will rarely be seen. Has anyone else tried using different stealth systems, and if so what are they?
