Synopsis: This article will be used to expand the Stealth skill stub.

Stealth is the skill of moving without being detected.

In order for the skill to be used in the most effective manner one must understand what it means to become "invisible" to his/her enemy or target. Although the skill is most often used by spies, larcenists, and assassins, it can also can prove to be extremely useful for hunters and guards.

Proposal Approved

Hey Amora, Everything here looks good.

I would recommend not having pre-requisites but just associated skills. Also there's a number of magic abilities that can assist with stealth especially gnoses and shielding. Perhaps those could be another section?

Best of Luck,
Emissary

1. Overview
2. Prerequisites and Related Skills
   There are no skill requirements to begin using stealth, but there are many skills and magics that could benefit the user in several different ways when trying to be stealthy.
   
   • Acrobatics: To help the user escape his/her target's line of sight using acrobatic movements such as tumbling or vaulting.
   • Climbing: To help the user escape his/her target's line of sight using the climbing skill to ascend any vertical surface, such as a building to enter a window.
   • Camouflage: To help the user blend into his/her surroundings to keep from being detected as easily.
   • Disguise: To help the user hide his/her identity to penetrate enemy territory without being recognized as an outsider, or to simply blend into a crown more easily.
   • Impersonation: Works the same way as Disguise does; to help one be more stealthy by hiding their identity.
   • Observation: Though having good observational skills is helpful for every skill, it's worth mentioning for stealth simply because knowing one's target's line of sight and hearing distance as well as what objects or people nearby that can help keep the user from being detected is extremely important. In order to use stealth effectively, having good observational skills is a must.
   
   There are also skills that Stealth benefits to make them easier or more effective.
   
   • Larceny: People who choose to use larceny in their lives know that Stealth is an extremely important skill to have along with it, simply because not being caught is their main goal.
   • Hunting: While hunting, one must stay quiet and undetected in order to assure they get their kill, making stealth extremely valuable.
   • Escape Artist: If one is caught in a sticky situation and wishes to get out of it without being caught, it is extremely helpful to have a stealthy background on his/her side.
   • Tracking:
   • Investigation:
