The following table below acts similar to the [[DRN]] table, except that it implements the d25 in place of the usual d6: thus it provides the chance of finding a sneaking commander.

+ | It follows that if you are patrolling to root out stealthy units, you should orient your patrol size to the kind of units you hope to find. Chances are roughly even when stealth and patrol strength are even, but fall of quickly even when the patrol strength is even a little less than the stealth of the unit. Province Defence alone will not uncover many stealthy units. | ||
