Spotting concealed persons or creatures

D6 or MD used, distances can be varied or ignored at the Games Master's discretion.

Light Concealment (LC), means behind folds in the ground, partly hidden by tree trunks or rocks.

Hidden (Hi), is concealed behind substantial bushes, rocks or buildings.

Well Hidden (WH), is concealed in long prepared hides in dense bushes or buildings (loopholes).

Keen sighted relates to elves long sight or +2 tracking experts.

For a moving party only one dice is thrown per move relating to the nearest or most likely observer. Once any of a group of persons or creatures has been spotted, others of the party alerted by the observer may dice individually to also spot adding one to their dice. (Most likely so as to fire.) If spotted creatures move position for a better concealment position, throw as for furtive movement.

D6 +F = table chance of spotting. F= Observers moving cautiously (Mo -2") +1, Observer keen sighted +1, Observers moving 8"+ -1, Observers mounted -1, Observers Hvy or plate armoured -1, Alerted +1, Concealed creatures making moderate noise +1. Loud noise +2. Creating a flame or light automatically reveals a hidden position. Ranges in brackets only involved at GM's discretion.
