Assassinate is easy, I get that in general. I'm wondering if you can use it on additional rounds of combat if you are hidden and your opponent can't see you thus maybe giving you "surprise" on a hit?
So I guess Invisibility in this addition allows people to deduce where you are unless you are "hidden". So for this scenario, let's assume we are on round third of combat and let's assume the Assassin has Greater Invisibility and has used stealth to "hide" so no one is aware of his true position. If he attacks again would that count as a "surprise" hit thus triggering Assassinate?
Would it change if he had Greater Invisibility, Silence, Mind Blank while floating with Winged Boots? I mean you are literally undetectable in pretty much every way at that point. Even if they know you are somewhere by being attacked from a previous round, wouldn't an attack from an unknown location count as "surprise" since you have no way of knowing where it is coming from?
Also, is the "Hiding" action an "action" in combat? If so, is there a way to hide as a bonus action?
