I'm not sure. I think that it would be easy to make a ruling as a DM that worked and I don't think that it really matters what that ruling is as long as your players know how stealth is done at the table. What I guess I'm saying is that the tools are there for a DM to decide how the situation...

I think that I'd rule that both sides are surprised, so there's no effect - or maybe both sides skip the first round of combat is that's relevant. If the PCs in that situation were expecting trouble but the bugbear wasn't, then I'd consider giving the PCs surprise if it worked in the context of...

The suggested equipment part is strange. I'd agree that it's probably a mistake on the part of WoTC, but I wouldn't like to speculate on whether the class should have the proficiency added or the suggested equipment removed. My guess is that WoTC toyed with both ideas and whatever the mistake is...

I'd agree with that. Specifically, I'd say that in order to make an attack from full cover you'd have to move far enough to get line-of-sight, which would mean that you weren't in full cover any more. As such you would also no longer be hiding since line-of-sight coupled with the rule that...

I think that this is pretty comprehensive, just missing one factor which I think deserves specific mention - cover. Even in an un-obscured you can be unseen, and thus attempt to hide, while behind something that gives full cover like a large tree or rock. Obviously if there was just one boulder...

The PHB states that a creature can squeeze through a space (at half speed) big enough for a creature one size smaller than it. The trouble is that a Small creature takes up the same space as a Medium creature, which is presumably to make working with a grid easier when you have a mixed party of...

I wouldn't say that I love the design, but I do like it. The art itself I am more conflicted about. Something about the art on the Halfling's race page just seems off to me, but I think that the piece on page 176 (under "Using Ability Scores") is brilliant.

Just the two that we've seen according to the contents page, including the full art page. EDIT: Ninja'd, should've seen that coming.

Got to be 4d6 drop the lowest for me. I like the randomness but if someone were to roll all 6s or something ridiculous like that I'd have to politely ask for re-rolls, which is always awkward. That being said, it's terribly unlikely that'd happen. My current game does have three high-stated...

It's good to hear that you're enjoying them, I like me a good vampire. I was pleased to see that there are four pages for them, what kind of options are fit in that space?
