It's not his fault they had the mahna mahna song playing. You just HAVE to sing it out loud!

I got +18 to stealth. Of course, I also have a GM who is *physically incapable* of rolling below a nat 18 for hostile NPCs.

A natural 18 would, without any bonuses, not clear your stealth even if you rolled a nat 1. If you rolled even a 10 that would give them a 28DC perception check to see you.

Just hold perfectly still and pretend to be an empty suit of decorative armor.

You realise enemies do also have bonuses right.

I do, and even indicated that, but a +18 is fucking wild. How high are these bonuses? Not saying it isn’t possible it’s just that your story loses some impact without details is all.

18 **is** wild, so I would assume 16 or 18 wis guards proficient in perception, by level 17 would get +10 without any other kind of modifiers. If they are rogue guards with 14 wisdom they get to +10 by level 4 with expertise. Again, if the DM is handling stuff to get them get to +18 I'd assume he can make guards get +10 too.

Absolutely. I'm that Nat one Player

I meant 18 on the die plus the NPC's perception bonus.
