It depends on my prepared spells, and also what has happened in the adventure so far, as that could give me an indication of what to...

Yes, but then it goes on to give what appear to be very specific rigidly-defined rules for determining exactly that, but are incomplete...

I mean, you presented Shadowdark Wish to me as a counter-example to me saying that if the intent is for the 2024 Stealth rules to be...

It wouldn’t have required a change at all, visibility and detection were treated separately by the 2014 rules. They actually had to make...

I mean, it wasn’t defined as a condition, but this was basically how it worked prior to the 2024 revision. Being invisible made it so a...
