-When you enter the [[Stealth Mode]] you are actively attempting to hide from every other character in the vicinity separately, and each of them is trying to detect you separately. There's a separate indicator of how well you are hidden from each of the characters that appears above them when you enter the stealth mode.
+'''Stealth Mode''' is an important gameplay mechanic.
 This eye shaped indicator keeps filling up if you are being detected and empties out if you are well hidden to a point where the detection stage of that particular character changes. The detection stages are:
@@ Line 30: / Line 36: @@
 The speed at which these detection stages will rise or fall in your enemies as you sneak past them depends your stealth skill and their [[detection]], (which is derived mainly from their perception), but also on illumination, distance and engagement angle (being behind your opponent is much safer, while being directly a few feet in front of your opponent will almost always result in them detecting you no matter how good at sneaking you are). If your stealth is less than 40% of enemy's detection rating, you will be detected instantly at maximum range.
-Also, you cannot start hiding from someone who has you in their sight. You'll need to hide out of line of sight before entering stealth. Against hostiles, you must [[Incapacitated|incapacitate]] enemies or stay out of sight for a number of turns until they stop chasing you.
+=== Restealthing ===
-However, stealth is not just a situational utility. Investing in stealth skill will also affect different aspects of combat, such as increasing damage of your stealth attacks and providing new defensive mechanisms.
+The [[Vanishing Powder Grenade]] introduced in version [[1.1.1.0]] is an exception to this and a powerful tool for stealth characters.

 Different enemies may react differently to each of these states. For instance, if a civilian finds out he is being stalked he might panic and run, while on the other hand an experienced soldier might throw a stun grenade in your general direction in order to pull you out of stealth. That is how you are destealthed - by suffering some hostile action such as taking damage or being stunned. Bumping into someone will also cause the stealther to stumble out of stealth.
