This is the complete list of Stealth Skills. Use the filters to narrow down your selection.
Stealth skills list the advantage or disadvantage applied per rank to any stealth test required by that skill. You can always elect to use a lower rank if you have higher ranks of a particular ability (i.e. at Rank 4 Surprise Attack, you can use Rank 1,2,3, or 4). There is no required amount of stealth to use any of your stealth skills, however many skills do list specific restrictions for their use. The most common restriction is that some skills require that you are undetected in order to use them. Other skills may list additional benefits if used while undetected. There are also skills designed to potential increase your stealth rather than reduce it. It is recommended that you take at least some of these types of skills.
