OK, I can see your point... however there isone thing that will keep me
doing things the way I have described... If you have stealth rolled
against perception like you decribed, it requires many different rolls...
one roll per person vs each opposed person... if you have say 4 players
that are sneaking up on 3 guards, that is twelve rolls you have to make,
and twenty four comparisons (successes vs successes)... that's a
helluvalotta rolls... with TN4 + mods, its only 3 rolls for you... quite
a difference... I guess I'm one for speeding up the game (been a
heavy-duty roleplayer for years now...) :)
