====== Stealth ======

Stealth is a tricky feature to attempt to game, and Legacy attempts an unusual solution:  Uncertain location.

When a character [[legacy:rules:actions:hide|Hides]], their location may become Uncertain.  This is typically the result of an explicit rule.  A character whose location is Uncertain has moved under the cover of stealth, and their exact location cannot be easily determined.

If somebody successfully [[legacy:rules:actions:search|Searches]] for the Hidden character, their location becomes Fixed.  A character whose location is Uncertain will have their location become Fixed when they take any action.  However, they remain Hidden until the chosen action is completed.

===== Fixing Location =====

A character whose location goes from Uncertain to Fixed may move their character to any square to which they could have moved normally, if they had movement points equal to their speed.  This is not actual movement, but the result of prior, unknown movement taken before the character's location was Fixed, and hence does not provoke [[legacy:rules:actions:counterattack|Counterattacks]].  It also does not result in the character losing the Hidden condition.  However, a character whose location is Fixed in a place where they have no Cover or Concealment //will// lose the Hidden condition.
