If you really want to, it's perfectly possible to take cover without regard for stealth. In that case, you do not need to pass a stealth cover check; simply make sure that you have available cover on your side, and declare that you're taking cover without stealth. You will automatically succeed, but you are giving up stealth for the rest of this round of combat.
=== Stealth with multiple characters ===
Allied characters must each make their stealth checks in order to remain undetected from other parties.
If there are allied creatures in multiple states (one in Stealth, another not), then '''all creatures in Stealth act first'''. The order of priority is as follows:
* Creatures in stealth, non-combat actions
* Creatures in stealth, combat actions
* Creatures in the open, non-combat actions
* Creatures in the open, combat actions
