So, from the Library, you must have a Stealth buff active or the stat & gear are equal to zero, correct?
The effect is to reduce the xeno detection range X by the value of the Stealth buff + stat + gear, correct?
From casual observation, all xenos will detect any Templar as range one (adjacent), correct?
Stronger xenos probably have longer detection ranges, correct?
From another thread, Templar buffs with one turn left expire at the end of the following xenos turn, correct?
Is there a random factor involved in xenos detecting stealth Templars?

Minimum range of stealth detection is 2 squares.
Some Xenos are better at detecting then others.
There is a random element.

Thanks. Once the stealthed Scout gets spotted, how long does the "lock on" remain?
Does being spotted by one xeno mean the Scout is now visible to all xenos?
I'm trying to resolve a bad tactics vs bad dice issue with Stealth.

Im pretty sure that stealth gets rolled each turn as long as you maintain a stealth buff.
I think if the scout loses a stealth roll any xeno in attack range can attack them that turn.

fallen btw I think adding the min range to the stealth entry in the library would be good. Or we could keep it a secret for fourm goers and alpha testers.

Since it is so AI and difficulty dependent, it won't be added to the Library, no.

So far I've learned from this thread that running past a xeno in a three square wide passage breaks stealth on all difficulties, but if minimum detection range on Ironman is greater than two squares it would be nice to know. This way players know that a response will be triggered in that case. I've got no problem with "oops, bad dice", but taking a hit for a non random (or the strong appearance of non random) event irks me a lot, especially when the response end up being "Just play a lower difficulty" and "Thanks for the feedback". |
