====== STEALTH ======
DEX; ARMOR CHECK PENALTY

You can stay hidden and move silently to avoid detection,
allowing you to sneak past foes or strike from an
unseen position.

===== Hide =====

You can use Stealth to hide if you have either cover or
concealment (or a special ability that allows you to hide in
plain sight), or if you have successfully created a diversion
with the Bluff skill. You can attempt a Stealth check to hide
either as a move action (if you are planning to stay immobile)
or as part of a move action. If you move at a rate of half your
speed or less, you take no penalty to your Stealth check. 

If you attempt to hide while moving more than half your speed
or after creating a diversion with Bluff, you take a –10 penalty
to your Stealth check; these penalties are cumulative if you
do both. The check is opposed by the Perception checks of
creatures in the area that might detect you. A creature that
fails the opposed skill check treats you as if you had total
concealment as long as you continue to have actual cover or
concealment. A creature that succeeds at the opposed skill
check either sees you or pinpoints you in
situations when you have total concealment. If you lose actual
cover or concealment during your turn, you can attempt to
stay hidden, but only if you end your turn within cover
or concealment.

=====Move Silently=====
If you benefit from total concealment,  you gain a +40 bonus to your Stealth check as long as you remain immobile. 

If you move, this penalty does not apply, but the opponent much make the detection by sound and will often get a penalty to the hearing roll from surrounding sounds.

=====Operate Silently=====
You can try to use stealth operate or move objects that normally make sound when operated or moved silently. This is treated the same as Move silently above, but with a penalty from how much noise the object normally makes.

A typical creaky door or floor boards might be -5.

=====Invisibility and Hiding=====

If you are invisible, you
gain a +40 bonus to your Stealth check as long as you remain
immobile. You are considered immobile if it is your turn and
you have not yet moved or if you have not moved since the
start of your last turn. If you are invisible but not immobile,
you instead gain a +20 bonus to your Stealth check

Typically, a creature cannot attack you if you are invisible
or have total concealment unless the creature pinpoints you
with a successful Perception check. (Invisible creatures can
still be heard, smelled, and felt, and might do something to
make themselves known to those who succeed at Perception
checks) Even then,
the attacking creature has a 50% miss chance against the
pinpointed creature.

=====Attacking from Hiding=====

If you are successfully hiding from a creature, that creature
is considered flat-footed for the purpose of your first attack
from hiding.

It then gets an extra perception roll at +20 to locate you for melee attacks or +10 for most ranged ones.

If you remain unnoticed after your first attack,
that creature is considered flat-footed against your attacks
until it succeeds at a Perception check to locate you or until
you become visible
