Light steps and stealth


Ninja Discussion: Round 1


1 person marked this as FAQ candidate.

Today in our game the question came up, if its possible to us light steps with stealth.
For information,the ninja is a halfling with the swift as shadows racial trait, which says:

reduce the penalty for using Stealth while moving by 5

Stealth rules say:

When moving at a speed greater than half but less than your normal speed, you take a –5 penalty. It's impossible to use Stealth while attacking, running, or charging.

Im not running, but i cannot go full speed. So with light steps it would be 40, or not full 39 maybe, but without penalty because of the trait. The thing is i bought some Boots of the Raptor and have a base speed of 60 feet now, what makes light steps 120 feet and i could move 119 feet per round then,just for free. The question is, as what could light steps count? I like the image of a sneaky ninja floating through the night.


The question also is how Light Steps interacts with Fast Stealth.


Nobody any opinion on this?


1rst, speed's rounded down in to 5ft increments.

2nd, 20ft's your normal speed for a move action. So, you would have to go at 15ft for stealthing, which isn't too big of a hit.

3rd, I can see this working so long as you're just a bit shy of 2x your full speed while stealthing. In this case, that would be 2x 15ft, since you're being stealthy, or 30ft total possible distance.

4th, blah blah blah light steps blah blah broken blah blah blah
