2 months ago@juergen_hubert I think Guy Gabriel Kay does this very well in his fantasy novels loosely based on Mediterranean Europe (and bordering regions) in antiquity. You can tell clearly where his inspiration comes from, but it’s also clear that any individual historical fact can’t be assumed to apply to the real world cultures because the real world is only used as scaffolding and none of the cultures are “evil” or bad, except perhaps in the eyes of bigoted characters.
@juergen_hubert I don’t think it’s OP. With a roll for each party member, some of whom often have shit dex, and potentially a new room in the next corridor there’s a good chance of revealing there’s an incursion. And it doesn’t prevent guards from noticing opening doors, disappearing crown jewels, or any interaction where a stealth check wouldn’t be appropriate. So once discovered an action like hide is required to go back into stealth mode, just as if you didn’t have the spell on you. And in a world where it exists, guards for something truly important should set up some choke point where there’s just open ground and enough guards having clear line of sight to all of it.
