Well, that is no problem in itself. You're vulnerable to a character, you have defences against it - running, killing them before they get there. If you don't choose the perk that's your choice.
The only problem with it is bluesuits using it and risking nothing, which is why I said -5 Str default which is removed by PF or MPF.
Really solar, you should see HtH fighters in action, as well as SD fighters, really take your time test HOW sneaking works at the moment. There isnt much running or shooting when you dont know whats gonna hit you and when, its oh so very very easy to sneak up on people now its just ridiculous, and as people have posted all it takes is 1 hit and you're likely not getting up. Although I must admit the HtH situation is not so dire considering that with SD and a bursting weapon, 1 hit and YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY not getting up.
I truly dont mind how sneak works, I actually love the idea, but you IMO, by a decade of FoT experience with silent running ninja bursting sneakers, I can decidedly tell you how broken is to be able to RUN and SNEAK. Tactics get thrown out of the window and it isnt as much as ambushing as its DESCENDING upon your victim, batman style and all... Keep sneak the way it is, remove the ability to run Im extremely certain about that, a sneaker should plan carefully and tactically its hit, not just a man with a stealth field device (Oh there goes another idea, maybe running if a stealth boy is enabled, who knows!) Trust me, walking people is completely possible to detect with a motion sensor, running people might not give you the chance most of the time
