* Rules for sound and hearing is not implemented and NPCs may only detect what they see. If you [[Hide|hide]] while not in a creature's sight cone, you automatically succeed. If you try to hide while in a creature's sight cone, you automatically fail. If you are hidden and enter a creature's sight cone, you must roll stealth against the creature's passive perception. This may be a straight roll, [[Advantage|advantage]], or [[Disadvantage|disadvantage]], based on the creature's senses and the level of lighting. Some creatures with different senses such as blindsight may follow different rules.
