visible stealth check.
It is a little complicated but ill give it a go. Races with darkvision like goblins see a dark area (half sun) the same as daylight within a certain range (60ft FOV). Drow have improved darkvision which shows complete darkness as daylight within a certtain range (60ft). If you are "seen" by the enemy sneaking in full sun though either darkvison or improved darkvision you will be seen, no check. However a rogue assassin from the 8th level gains a feat called "hide in plain sight" which means they get a stealth check even while they are being observed in full light. Outside of specific class benefits you wil be seen without check while sneaking in plain sight. However If you remain "in shadows" (half sun and below) and sneak in the FOV you will gain a steath check based on dex+skill.
If you are outside the FOV and in the shadows (to the racial enemy observing) you should get a stealth check even firing a bow or interacting with the environment. Currently upon firing a bow while in heavy darkness and way outside FOV the entire map aggros you with no stealth ck which is incorrect. I agree the stealth is a bit clunky at times but it isn't far away. Just remember the races with darkvision.
Elf, half-elf, goblins, Drow (get daytime disadvantages btw) and anything in the underdark + many more. Hope that helps mate.
Thanks, this helps...So just to clarify.
If I'm outside the FOV (Pink Cloud) and I'm sneaking (pathing is not crossing the FOV) and the sun indicator is lets say full for this example...there is a chance to be revealed? And if so, what's the point of the pink cloud? I'm assuming the pink cloud and FOV are the same, are they not?
