[PnP] sneak....silence

[Scott Adams]

Burton's Skills does have Stealth and Intrigue I believe.

Basically I'd go 
1) Stealth
2) Tracking if in certain aspects like city streets or junlg ebut not inside a barn or tavern.
3) Trailing only as a bonus to the effect not as a skill success.
4) If none of the above then would use basic attributes like Dex/Agility or both.  

So if have Stealth then treat it as a pure skill roll with difficulty x1-etc.

Tracking might give some minor bonus as well as trailing.

Thief, Acrobat, Martial arts all could give some minor influence or bonus to the skill success.

>As far as skills go, for stealth PnP seems to break it down into a lot of over specialized skills. Trailing lets you follow someone undetected in a city, the various survival skills let you set ambushes successfully in the appropriate terrain, which implies a stealth component. The same skills are used to detect followers/ambushers.
