You really should read the rest of the thread, and see where all of this has sparked. Not because i do not think you would be "unqualified to post" here or something, just to have direct knowledge of what has been written and so have a personal idea of how this point was reached. By the way...

As per normal rules for hiding if you are discovered you are no longer hidden. It applies to LH (source of obscuration no longer applies > no longer obscured > clearly seen > no longer hidden) and for the WE (If he is no longer in a lightly obscured environment due to natural causes > no longer...

Except the part where "attempt to" is mentioned clearly and has to be changed to something else to fit your interpretation to make your interpretation consistent. No. When something reveals your position, something reveals your position. The second part is added by you by default by assuming...

You are right about Combat inspiration. A player that has an inspiration die can in fact look at the die being rolled before making the decision. And due to jaelis suggestion i looked up at the DMG and actually found that the choice about rolling is in fact a "table choice", (or rule, or...

An houserule is a modification of an existing rule on something that should be allowed/is not allowed/works differently in a certain game. If there's no rule that requires the DM to keep the rolls secret it does not mean that there is a rule that says that rolls have to be known. The only...

Total interpretation, as it's yours. If something is not there at all it's not possible to know which way is the intended one until there's a clarification on RAI. Now, on this particular subject i have no idea if there's a rule somewhere that i just always skimmed over and would like knowing...

Absolutely. I didn't mean to undermine your point that i find correct and logical. Just pointing out that the "two camps" in this discussion do not directly translate into one of the "two camps" that you pointed out for the other discussion. That's why i quoted only that part.

No, you are only unable to target him directly. You can attack him if you guess where he is. The whole point is "do you actually know where he is, or just think you know?" and the answer is "you are reasonably sure but have no way to confirm it unless you search for him or open the box". So it's...

Lol no what i meant was MY phrase was not really well put. Hiding requirements are just 2: Dm's adjudication and not being clearly seen. Obscurement (Heavy only one might imply due t othe skulker feat, but here's not really the place) is one way to not be clearly seen, the other is a physical...

Rereading it again the phrase has typos and does not make sense as is. Gotta put into a language that is more akin to english :D Yeah, the requirement for hiding can be called "concealment". What i was going to do was use "PHB wording as written" more than anything else - You can't be seen...

No. You REMEMBER them going in there. You have no idea what they look like now since you do not see them. If you are not able to hear them you also have no idea what sounds they are emitting. If the box does not shake, you have no idea if they are moving. Your perception is now limited...

I can understand if you are not going to reply given the reply-storm the thread has become. i am not missing the implication of known location. i have repeated times and again that hiding is not some sort of trick that automatically makes everyone else in the world forget. What i challenge in...

Absurd because it's something YOU are applying and no one else is. If you go behind a pillar and suddendly go quiet with a crowd watching THE CROWD STILL KNOWS WHERE YOU WENT. THIS DOES NOT PREVENT ANYONE FROM HIDING. THERE'S NO PERMANENCE BEING STRIPPED. HIDING DOES NOT MINDWIPE Or, you...

Except that's exactly what you meant, since you made the example of a rogue under greater invisibility. But hey, who am i to see that your carpet statements are actually wrong, right? There's no correct response. There's no wrong response. There's DM adjudication. Let's do it! -- "Hiding...

I do enforce them. All components. Keep track of them and see if you can cast something. I've also been enforced components upon when i forget about them and there's reasons to not be able to cast for some reason (Shield and having two hands busy is mean, man) If you mean material ones in...

Do not worry, i only look up to the official Sage Advice compendium for inspiration. I do not take RAW or anything as gospel. Rule 0 is have fun, Rule 1 is DM is the Final Judge. And there are also clarifications in the official Sage Advice that are clearly sloppy and take a 180 turn on rules...

Trees usually provide 3/4 cover. Cover section PHB. The rogue hides there, all good and dandy, then takes the shot. The shot reveals the rogue. The rogue can hide again in the same place with disadvantage. Rogue is revealed. Can hide. 3/4 cover. Explain how this makes sense if you can't hide...

@Flamestrike considering that for you hiding behind a pillar, even if total cover, is impossible and you agree with what Mearls posted about ogres and trees, there's a BIG problem that you have to address: You are both stating that you can hide behind a 3/4 cover and that you can't hide behind...

Numbers added for clarity. 1) Yes, you do not give away your position until you have attacked. But only if you are still hidden before the attack. If you are seen before the attack you lose your "hidden" status immediatly. Before the attack. That's why there's a big difference between theater...

Because there are situations - example: Heavy obscurement - that allow you to still be unseen after the attack has been resolved. Cover just might not be one of those cases. For me, it's usually not. Edit: There's also a difference here if you use the Theater of Mind or a grid. On a grid, if...
