The character is invisible, of course you can’t see it.

And it’s when they ARE visible when you can read the obvious tells.

You are trying to describe guessing. To read something you have to be able to observe it. Once they go stealth then you are moved out of the realm of being able to observe to the realm of guessing what they will do.

Unless you are fighting artificial intelligence, then its unlikely you will be able to apply the same guess over and over again with success.

That’s prediction, not guessing. If you use the information available to you (hp of both players, objectives, etc.) well you’ll have a higher likelihood of being right. Just guessing has no information taken into consideration. Other people say luck, but luck is 50/50. You should be able to do better than that. It’s not 100% though granted.

What prediction, guessing and luck have in common is the result of your choice is uncertain. So in that regard depending on how the individual are expressing those words, they are interchangeable.

Playing against a invisible character is like playing a game of chance, except the stealthed player determines the outcome of the roll.

How uncertain they are comes down to player knowledge and skill though. That’s a significant difference between the three. Some situations are pretty obvious. See a downed ally, see the thief stealth… take a guess where he’ll probably be. If the thief is using a dagger MH he’s probably not going to be trying to frontstab you etc. etc. It’s not 100%, but using the information you’ve been given about what’s going on and experience it shouldn’t just be random luck.

Thief in particular can also be stopped from stealthing in the first place (save blinding powder).

P.S. Can I haz your computer please?
