Stealth

Stealth is the skill that lets you win fights by never having them.

What It Does

Stealth governs sneaking — moving past enemies, slipping into towns, and setting up theft or assassination without being detected.

Hidden Effects

Stealth is influenced by lighting, distance, encumbrance and whether enemies are alert. Darkness and light loads make a stealthy character nearly invisible.

How XP Works

Stealth trains while you are actually sneaking near enemies — crouched movement around alert NPCs builds it steadily.

Best Training Methods

Sneak through patrolled towns at night, especially around guards, while crouched. It pairs naturally with Lockpicking, Assassination and Thievery training.

Common Mistakes

Trying to stealth in heavy armour and full encumbrance. Stealth builds want light gear and light loads.
