Hello everybody!
PFRPG Core Rulebook, Page 563:
Modifiers to the DC to pinpoint an invisible creature's location:
Invisible creature is...
Moving at half speed: -5
Moving at full speed: -10
Running or charging: -20
Not moving: -40
While the idea seems to be "the faster you move, the easier you are to spot" (because of the noise you make?) not moving at all makes you twice as easy to detect as running or charging. Should that not be +0, since it'd be the "standard" case?
I'm also not quite sure about how Stealth interacts with it. If you use Stealth to move at half speed, do you get Stealth check + 20 -5 on the DC?
Cheers,
Tigr
This comes up quite often.
It's clearly a misprint. No penalty for standing still. There are a bunch of threads on this but I don't remember if anyone official chimed in with the Paizo voice, but I'm pretty sure the community was on-board with this being a misprint.
I'm with DM on this as being a misprint.. if you take a look at the Invisibility spell, it gives the stealth DC's as a positive modifier.
