I recently tried playing as a single rogue and would attack enemies in a stealthy manner with a bow. I'd plink away at a group of 4 enemies, and they would just stand there and take it. They know they are being attacked and talk to each other indicating they know someone is out there, but that's it. This of course is common in many games, but based on other interactions I've seen in the game I suspect they could do better. Perhaps move to take cover, or in a large settlement, move off to raise the alarm, start patrols, etc. WIthout this I can pretty much just plink away very carefully the whole campaign. I knocked out half the Druids' camp doing this, and enemies 20 feet away from ones I kill are standing there like nothing is out of the ordinary. Hoping this will be improved long term.

Love the game by the way.

Yeah, this needs a lot of work. They should be searching out the stealthed person, not just standing there.

I agree completely. At the bare minimum they should move their base movement in a random direction when being stealth attacked. If it wouldn’t require to much additional coding, they could give them a wisdom or intelligence check to determine if the monster can ascertain the correct direction the shot came from.

I mean come on, if someone gets shot with an arrow, it doesn’t take Elminster to figure out what direction it came from based on the way the arrow is stuck in ya.

Some will, I have noticed in the Underdark this strategy is not nearly as effective, they will begin running about like bees. It could be that the reason they are so docile is because it is a low level area and out of consideration for p layers just learning the system and how to use the environment. Or so I hope
