Although the central place for design discussion is ##crawl-dev on freenode, some may find it helpful to discuss requests and suggestions here first.

Show the chance of monster noticing you

It is possible to calculate the percentage chance for a sleeping/wandering monster to notice you. However, this is tedious. Therefore, I suggest that a line is added to xv: "It has a 10% chance of noticing you by itself every turn" or something like that.

Re: Show the chance of monster noticing you

When does this check get rolled, specifically, anyhow? Every time the player takes an action? Every 10 AUT?

Every action. That's why spriggan isn't better at sneaking than naga (at least until they get noticed)

Re: Show the chance of monster noticing you

But there is a chance to be spotted while doing nothing, right? Is waiting considered an action?

Waiting is an action, yes.

Re: Show the chance of monster noticing you

I find it quite amusing that bread swinging or book throwing mean a smaller chance of discovery / aut than doing nothing. Unless bread swinging makes noise, which would be even funnier!

If this was added, it would be nice if the information was visible on cursor-over also, maybe behind the status (i.e.: on orc priest, sleeping (10%)), to save on hitting v a lot.
