Situation: Operative Ghost has activated his stealth field to hide without cover or concealment, hides, and moves through Goon's threatened area. Goon succeeds on his Perception check to detect Ghost.
Does Ghost provoke an attack of opportunity?
The Stealth entry (p 148) suggests yes.
Quote:
A creature that succeeds at the opposed skill check either sees you or pinpoints you (see page 260) in situations when you have total concealment.
but the States of Awareness entry (p. 259) suggests no.
Quote:
When you are aware of a creature’s location, you know exactly where the creature is located, but you still can’t observe the creature with a precise sense such as vision. Generally, this occurs because you have blindsense, or because the creature is hidden but you have succeeded at a Perception check to pinpoint the creature with an imprecise sense. You must at least be aware of a creature’s location in order to directly attack it, though it is considered to have total concealment from you (see page 253).
