I never bother when the dm asks for a stealth check when playing an unstealthy character.

Just go along with the idea that I’m gonna get hurt to alay the detection of my comrades…

Dm: roll a stealth check.

Me: Wtf is a stealth check? I barge into the room like a bull whos balls are bound, sword drawn, heated breath, blood boiling.

You don’t win CoC…best you can hope for is to lose less.
