	It is important to note that Stealth in Icebound is not invisibility. You ~~can still~~ be spotted if you enter another person’s direct line of sight. This system is designed to reward active and skillful stealth instead of passive invisibility. Likewise, counterplay comes from the target paying attention to their surroundings instead of relying on automated perception.
