The formula is Charisma times buffed strength modifier plus buffed intelligence modifier, plus the Flourish Roll, of course.		*'''Intimidate:''' Intimidating, scaring, or otherwise menacing.

	*'''Hide:''' the art of remaining hidden. Moving while hidden is actually covered under a completely different check. Hide involves chiefly dexterity, but unlike the other deception-checks, uses Perception instead of Charisma(Perception to better tell which parts of you might be showing). The Hide-check is also used when a player character is attempting to keep something on their person from being found.

			'''Special Proficiency: Stealth''' is the governing proficiency of Deception, along with Charisma. While Charisma is capped based on available skill, Special Proficiency: Stealth is a proficiency and can be increased in much more available ways. But, it costs a proficiency slot.

	Sneak is a more challenging subset of Deception. Remaining hidden while stationary moving about unseen is another ~~dicipline~~ entirely. Players may approach Sneaking in one of two ways: they can attempt to move normally, executing a hide-check each time detection seems eminent; or select a specific destination and attempt a complete Sneak.

	For either approach, [[MPNP Flourish\|Flourish]] is vital, as it will be providing the bulk of your score. Attempting to sneak somewhere requires that your destination be either within clear visual distance(E.G. attempting to sneak through that room full of guards, across that valley full of soldiers, etc), or a location you have previously been to/are otherwise aware of(E.G. attempt to sneak out of this castle, attempt to sneak into this library, etc).

			Be reasonable. Do not give the player unreasonably high sneak-checks. Consider the situation, and if it's reasonable, pick a check that's equal to 50-70% of the character's dice roll. E.G.: if they have 10 dice for the role, the check should be around 5-7. If a player has invested a great deal of effort into it(taking many points of Stealth, adding in Facets, etc) you might take the check even lower. Just be sure to mix it up and adjust to the situation. Hiding in a dark corner should be pretty easy, hiding in plain sight on a sunny day... not so much.

			But let the players try. And if they've worked at it, let them succeed.

Deception is an ability all characters in the pen and paper game have, and is based on the [[MRPG Skills#Skills|Charisma]] skill as well as various stats. The rules for Deception are based around manipulating NPCs, and thus is not used in the [[Mage Wars RPG|MMO]] ruleset.

All deception checks require that the player execute a [[MPNP Flourish|flourish]]. Deception falls into three basic categories:

*'''Bluff:''' Bluffing, lying, generally deceiving your opponent. A Bluff Check is made by adding Charisma + Intelligence, multiplied by the buffed Intelligence Modifier, plus the Flourish Roll. If the resulting number is high enough, the Bluff is successful.

*'''Intimidate:''' Intimidating, scaring, or otherwise menacing. An Intimidate Check involves Charisma, Strength and Intelligence. The formula is Charisma times buffed strength modifier plus buffed intelligence modifier, plus the Flourish Roll, of course.

*'''Hide:''' the art of remaining hidden. Moving while hidden is actually covered under a completely different check. Hide involves chiefly dexterity, but unlike the other deception-checks, uses Perception instead of Charisma(Perception to better tell which parts of you might be showing). The Hide-check is also used when a player character is attempting to keep something on their person from being found. A Hide Check is made by adding Perception + Dexterity, multiplied by the buffed Dexterity Modifier, plus the Flourish Roll.

Sneak is a more challenging subset of Deception. Remaining hidden while stationary moving about unseen is another dicipline entirely. Players may approach Sneaking in one of two ways: they can attempt to move normally, executing a hide-check each time detection seems eminent; or select a specific destination and attempt a complete Sneak.

The GM will determine the requirement for the sneak attempt and the outcome of a check-failure. The Formula is: Unbuffed DEX + Unbuffed Speed times Perception plus Flourish. As you can see, a high Perception is of value here.
