Pathfinder 2e's Stealth and Detection rules in 8 MINUTES (Rules Lawyer)
966I DARE myself to make a short video, to explain one of Pathfinder's more intricate subsystems! (EDIT: This turned out to be an EIGHT minute explanation. Woohoo!)
A few more rules that I didn't include in this basic overview:
-Stealth checks generally are secret rolls. You don't know if you succeed!
-Cover provides a circumstance bonus to Stealth checks: cover gives +2, and greater cover gives +4.
-4:05 What DOES your nose do? It lets you notice the presence of something... UNNOTICED is another condition that rarely comes up. It means you don't know a creature is nearby at all.
-POINT OUT ( 1 action): if you detect a creature, you can indicate to your allies where the creature is. (It goes from being Undetected to Hidden to them): https://2e.aonprd.com/Actions.aspx?ID=2315
0:00 Intro
0:41 Detection conditions
3:47 Senses
5:02 Example
