# Sneaking Sneaking is the art of vanishing without leaving. It is not only about silence but about presence: how you carry yourself, how you breathe, how you become part of the darkness until watchful eyes pass over you without stopping. Masters of Sneaking understand that every place has its rhythms. The creak of boards, the sweep of patrol lanterns, the pause between footsteps. To move unseen is to slip into those rhythms, to become nothing more than the air itself. Sneaking is the difference between walking into an ambush and setting one. In the Sphere, Sneaking has been refined by thieves who empty vaults without raising alarms, assassins who end wars with a single cut, and wanderers who know how to travel through Discord-haunted lands without waking what lives there. For the Fell, it is often not a question of whether you can hide, but how long you can stay hidden when the world is hunting you. > [!note] Example Skill Checks > > - Slip past sentries patrolling a ruined bridge without drawing attention. > - Trail an enemy across a city while keeping to alleys and staying out of sight. > - Cross a creaking floor or unstable stone without making a sound. > - Blend into shadow or tall grass to evade a searching beast.
