Ok I have a player who likes to run around in a chameleon suit, sneaking around. He wants to surprise his targets a lot, so he wants to ambush. Now I understand he gets a +6 on his surprise test. So if I read this correct, though, it sounds like if he sees and knows his targets movement he doesnt have to test for surprise. That doesnt seem right as it also says before that that all participants need to make a surprise check. Help clarify this for me please.
Also the threshold of 3 for a surprise check seems really low. |
