but the rule you quoted speaks about coming out of hiding and approaching a creature. If you're making ranged attacks while hidden this doesn't apply to you at all. It also states that the creature would then "usually" see you if you come out and approach. You're changing this to read as an...

Incorrect... You remain hidden until you are seen clearly by an observer. What constitutes being "unclearly seen" seems to be mainly left up to the DM to decide. If you're seen clearly, you lose hidden. Total obscurement (which isn't actually something in 5e, it's either total cover or...

You seem to be implying that it's not possible to hide and attack while hidden in combat. That might be how it works in your game but that's not a restriction that exists within the rules. Being alert or not has nothing to do with being able to hide or not or being able to attack while hidden...

Sneak attack can be done if you have a conscious ally adjacent to your target. That's probably the most common means. Obscurement does not prevent a rogue from sneak attacking? Not sure what you mean there.

That's because, from what I've noticed, most people don't like how hiding works and often find it overpowered to be able to hide and attack multiple times per combat. Considering the amount of hoops required to even hide in the first place, I've never found it useful to impose further hoops...

Because the rules specify that creatures in combat are paying attention to their surroundings. This is used to justify that if someone comes out of hiding, they get spotted unless the DM rules that the observer is distracted. If that's the case, the hidden character can come out of hiding and...

Well of course it's magical. It's a spell dealing damage. Unless specifically stated otherwise, a spell's damage will always be magical.

Right they need to reach 100,000$ for a hardcover version of the book for 5e. Just fyi.

I quoted the text from the spell, it literally says it grants you two attacks as a bonus action basically word for word. Maybe you missed the quoted text? "you can use a bonus action to make two attacks with a weapon that uses ammunition from the quiver" The spell is giving you a way to make...

I think our disagreement stems from my understanding that in order for something to specifically trump the general rules it would have to, well specifically say it does (like a spell specifically stating that an attack it grants does not bypass) vs your understanding that "the normal effects of...

Haste doesn't grant you an attack, it grants you an action with restrictions. Your assumptions that cause and effect can move bypassing beyond spells that give actual attacks aside, maybe you should ask on twitter to see if you're correct or not.

Let's talk specifically about the two bolded. Hail of Thorns: (1st-level conjuration) Casting Time: 1 bonus action Range: Self Components: V Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute The next time you hit a creature with a ranged weapon attack before the spell ends, this spell creates a...

If you are hidden and attack, you only get advantage on the first attack you make. This is true in or out of combat. Once you make the attack, you lose hidden regardless of if you hit or miss. Some features in the game can allow you to stay hidden if you miss the attack for example but you...

Most people I've seen use this kind of argument don't bother though. Which again is why it's such a silly argument to make. Let's leave what the dictionaries say aside and focus on what the rules say instead.

The edition uses hundreds of keywords, definitions, syntax and so on that are indeed what you might be calling "game code language". By this I mean that they appear and are explained/defined and then recalled at other points as keywords. IE: Weapon Weapon Attack Melee Attack Melee Weapon...

The errata is not a specific vs general though. It's errata meant to clarify or change how the rules work. In this case, changing what is considered magical to bypass resistance and immunity. So in other words, it's changing how the general rule works. I don't understand why you're bringing...

agreed, those levels seem spot on.
