There are many species that see in the infrared spectrum. Thus even a Defel would lose his species sneak bonus to a Trandoshan.

Are you sure? Because it did say that their skin/fur absorbs ALL forms of visible light, didn't it?

Sneak is the skill used to avoid sensors, sensors! If the Defel was smart, he would have a high sneak roll anyway.

yeah, unfortunately... i was a little mad when we realized this... due to the fact that his infiltrator had 9D sneak... and i don't know very many people that have a sensors roll that can touch that...

Oh right.. Embarassed

I guess I've never run into a situation where that would make any difference, our defel has 10D sneak!

Is that Defel a pc or NPC?
I like Defels, but I'm not sure I could play one.

I've never seen a defel with that high of a sneak, because why raise the skill when a majority of the people will no be able to see you do to your added species bonus. I'm not saying that it wouldn't be hard to see the defel, just that the couple of dice that adds to sneak would not be added.

I've seen a Defel with an 11D sneak. He's in Wretched Hives of Scum & Villainy.

considering that 14 dice is the best in the galaxy I would say that it is not the average Defel.

True. But I wouldn't want to come across him in a dark alley. Not only is he sneaky, he's a champion fighter in the Broken Tusk.

how do you guys handle when the defel has on armor that covers over 50% of its body? should the defel still get the sneak bonus? ur gm says that if the defel has on armor, it should not get the full sneak bonus. anyone else play that way?

it depends on the type of armor... because if he were wearing pieces of stormtrooper armor or something, i would say he would definately lose his sneak bonus, but something like a shadowsilk combat jumpsuit or something like that... that's a different story

i see what you mean, but, if the defel has on shadow silk, does he get the bonus for the suit and for his fur?
