(He, Him)
DM: Your check beats the monster. You avoid notice, unheard, and hidden from view.
Player: Great! What does that mean again? Am I invisible?
DM: Let me explain. Imagine you are the monster...
If you can see*, you know what square to attack
There's no guess-work here. Your target isn't totally concealed or invisible. Either you saw where he ducked down or you see a blur in the shadows, or whatever.
If you can't see, you don't know where to attack
If you were blinded, you wouldn't know where your target was. Maybe they're still where they were last time you knew?
If you do not feel threatened, you pay attention to something else
By guile or misdirection, that target just doesn't seem so important any more.
If you do feel threatened, you can pay attention to them
They're not invisible and you know where they are. You're allowed to attack them with a -2 penalty, or use minors to get a better fix on them. Your friends can, too. You can call on help from any of your friends who don't feel threatened by this guy yet.
They have combat advantage against you
You're confused by their guile and misdirection. Is that blade coming from the left, or the right, or...
*or use your primary sense unhindered.
