#5 Whir Sep 07, 2014 16:29:08	Because of the Supreme Sneak ability mentioned above, I would probably rule that stealthing without disadvantage requires moving at half-speed. Then, if you have that ability, you get advantage at half speed, while everyone else gets normal stealth rolls.   I may be overreacting to the ability though.
#6 pedro2112 Sep 08, 2014 10:42:52	There is a distinction between moving while stealthing and moving while hidden. If someone sees you (you are not in total cover, or they are  not distracted), then you are no longer hidden.
