RM question on Stalking\Tracking\Alertness
How do you guys do Stalking\Tracking\Alertness or similar long term use of skill.
Do you apply a die roll per instance or desired action
Or do you apply a dice roll for a period of time.
Just curious how the rules are applied.

It's been a long time since I've GMed RM but from what I remember, I never have used one blanket rule... I've always gone with what seems to fit for the situation.
"I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind."

- If someone is trying to sneak on someone else, I use the opposed checks method suggested in RMC - stalker rolls stalk, stalkee rolls perception, including appropriate situational modifiers for both rolls.
- If the game is currently in tactical mode (combat tracker, player turns & rounds), checks tend to be bound to a given round, as opposed to be "timeless situational".
Does that answer your question?

It does answer the question.
I seem to be like John, but I wanted to get an idea how others did it. As I tend not to have a pattern and decide as a GM when a roll should occur.
