the key piece you haven't shown is the rule that states that you can reveal yourself (I.e. Pop out) and make the attack with disadvantage. I guess we are done since this is not in the rules.
The reason I ask about popping out and not attacking is that if the pop out is revealing yourself then which rule allows you to attack with advantage after you reveal yourself.
I don't see anything that supports your point. They either say it's situational or no advantage. If the rules are clear you should be able to cite the rules that allow it.
If I am hiding behind a crate and you are walking right towards the crate can I pop out and make an attack with advantage? What if I pop out and not attack, am I still hidden?
The difference is being hidden with hard cover (like a pillar) and being hidden with heavy concealment (e.g. Darkness). Sulked doesn't help with popping out either since you have to leave hiding to attack.
The basic question is does popping out count as revealing yourself. If you say no then...
That rule says nothing about popping out. Once you pop out you reveal yourself. Unless it's a situation where the DM rules that the enemy is distracted, looking another way, etc. but those are situational. Nothing in the rules allow you to stay hidden after popping out and thus revealing...
LOL not rules as written but hey it's your game. You already houserule staying hidden by leaning around a pillar so might as well house rule the whole thing. :)
So you would say that if I go into an area of total darkness that had a diameter of 100' and you saw me go in that area then I would not be able to hide and you would know which space I am in at all times?
Flamestrike you are confusing someone thinking they know where you are and not being hidden. If I see a creature move behind a pillar and they take the hide action then I no longer perceive them. That creature could have hid or could have teleported away. I don't know for sure. If the creature...
Find a new group. One of the DM's jobs isn't babysitter. Unless of course you are DMing for kids you were hired to babysit. In that case use a timeout.
The Asventures in Middle Earth book introduced a d8 finesse broadsword.
But renaming the rapier to the long sword and long sword to the bastard sword works also.
