Sneak and Evade

By brthrdom, in Arkham Horror Second Edition

Hi folks,

My group has a question...What is the difference between sneak and evade?

Evade checks are a special type of sneak checks. I.e. all evade checks use your sneak base stat and are modified by evade or sneak boosting stats, but a sneak check would not be modified by +1 or +2 to evade items. That's the basic answer, I guess.

ah, you remind me of the old Millmaster chant: "special checks are skill checks but skill checks are not special checks".

Where did MM go anyway?

Presumably he was devoured.

All cognac is brandy . . . but not all brandy is cognac.

All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares (clearly).

Thanks guys,

I've got one really uptight player who keeps asking these types of questions.
