Test 1.

Prone?

1. Use  Hide to put the ENTIRE party into stealth, including pets.
2. Ungroup the party, including pets, then select one party member as the ambusher and move them into position to trigger the surprise.
3. Keep the other party members and pets some distance away while the ambusher approaches the enemy from outside their vision cones. If they cross a vision cone in a  Clear Area then they will instantly be spotted, but if they are  Lightly Obscured or  Heavily Obscured then they must succeed a  Stealth roll against the enemy's  Perception check. On a successful roll the enemies will not notice the character, but on a failed roll they will initiate combat without being surprised.
4. The ambusher MUST initiate combat from within line of sight of the enemy. If they do, then the enemy should be surprised. However, if they are out of line of sight then the enemies will begin searching for the party member and will NOT be surprised once they find them and begin combat.

1. Once the enemy is surprised, the rest of the party can be moved into position to join the fight. They will be drawn into the fight once they either enter an enemy's vision cone or attack them.
