Stealth serves several purposes. Your character will use it for hiding, as well as for sneaking about quietly. In both instances, your character is using camouflage, shadows and cover to conceal his presence.

Additionally, if you are able to use stealth and approach another character without them realizing it, you may make a sneak attack. If you are able to make a sneak attack, gain 1 extra Boon Point. This sneak attack ability works with ranged attacks as well, but only for attacks that do not receive any modifiers for range.
