Casting while hidden

Made AI able to react to hearing spellcasting by invisible/stealthed sources.

Would it be possible to add some sort of system for this to work for players as well?

Similar to how the voice text works for DMs and MPCs, perhaps have a yellow text message that says "You hear someone casting a spell nearby." Or something?

Edit: Perhaps include a method for people to roll a spellcraft to identify too.  "You hear someone cast Bull's Strength nearby."

Has Silent Spell been considered and hopefully implemented for this system?

I love the system and think its just another on in the tool box for Ravenloft. But could we add one more thing too.

Could it be possible to make so all "tells" made by those people that are invisible close to a monster aggro just like casting?

I mean if casting can do it, why not talking in general that isnt a whisper??

Silent spell and stil spell are taken into consideration by the system. Still spell negates the penalty to hide and hide check, and silent spell the penalty to move silently and ms check.

Are you talking about actual chat or tells? If you are talking about chat, where speech shows up to everyone that can hear around you, then I agree. If you are talking about "tells", I'd have to disagree, because "tells" are usually OOC.
