Stealth and its detection thereof has been changed dramatically from vanilla Third Edition in ''[[The Domains of Dread]].'' When a character enters stealth, they become ''<code>hidden</code>,'' unable to be seen by conventional means unless detected. The primary skill for detection is [[Perception]], where the primary skill for stealth is likewise [[Stealth]]. Any character can detect another character even if they are not in Detect Mode, but Detect Mode confers additional benefits on part of the detector.

To perceive a ''<code>hidden</code>'' character, the detector passively rolls the following every turn (60 seconds IRT) if they are not in Detect Mode, and every half to quarter turn (30-15 seconds IRT) if they are depending on hard ranks in Perception:
d10 + Perception +/- environmental modifiers +/- proximity modifiers +/- miscellaneous modifiers
If their roll beats the <code>DC</code> set by the ''<code>hidden</code>'' character's total Stealth score, they are permanently revealed to the detector until line of sight is broken. A visual indicator will orbit the detected character to indicate to the detector that the character had been trying to hide.

== Factors of Detection ==
Common factors which may make a ''<code>hidden</code>'' character easier or more difficult to spot in ''The Domains of Dread'' include:

# Ambient light level and light level from held or nearby light sources;
# Ongoing weather, including fog or storms;
# Distance to the ''<code>hidden</code>'' character;
# Noise the ''<code>hidden</code>'' character is making from changing held items, equipment, or casting spells;
# Whether the ''<code>hidden</code>'' character has the benefit of ''<code>concealment</code>;''
# If the ''<code>hidden</code>'' character has been recently detected by the detector;
# Any spells which heighten or lower present perceptions.
