Let's put it this way. The "rule" is too vague to be considered a useful rule so I would classify it as flavor text. The interpretation is rules lawyery.

I would say the vagueness of the attack at a distance statement is too vague on which to make any rules interpretations. This is rules lawyer territory.

This was the response.

Someone did a 5e conversion of Star Frontiers in the magazine Star Frontiersman. I would love to see WotC (or somebody) produce a space opera version of 5e. Maybe a Star Wars-type thing with the official serial numbers filed off. I tweeted Rodney Thompson about this when 5e first came out.

Dntbknow whT the optional rule is but my group grants advantage if you attack from behind the creature and it is wngagesd to someone in front of it.

Steal ideas from the players. I had a game where the players had to acquire some magic rocks and bring them to the person that hired them. The rocks weren't important and were just a reason for them to go to a certain location. The players became convinced that the rocks were dragon eggs so I...

As someone playing a champion right now the thrill of the dice is definitely a big attraction for me. Knowing that any roll of the dice can result in a big damage spike can be very thrilling.

I use both with no real preference.

Agreed. 5e is very flexibile. It isn't just for dungeons. I would be curious what exactly about AC and perception the OP has an issue with.

The more preactical example that is similar to the box is hiding behind a tree (still a single hiding space) when being followed. If the followers don't want to attack but are just trying go follow you and you go behind a tree and hide then now the followers have to make a decision. They do not...

I agree with the varying levels of difficulty. I have had players complain about the difficulty of encounters when no one is even reduced 0 hp.

So whatever would be most fun for you and the rest of the group, and don't worry about how realistic this. One idea would be to have this group of followers evolve into a cult that is doing many bad things in the current era, and the PCs have to try to defeat or thwart the cult. Maybe some...

Granted this use of hide is very situational but let's look at an example. Suppose you are following someone to see where they go and you don't want to confront him. You see him go into a box and he successfully hides. If he hadn't hidden himself then you could tell he was still in the box (you...

Actually the rule is written pretty well and is pretty simple. Step 1: Become not clearly seen. Step 2: Attempt to hide. Step 3: Profit (I.e. You are now hidden if your check succeeded). Whether this lines up with your "common sense" definition of hidden is irrelevant. The rule as written...

Can you see me clearly in the box? No, then I can hide. The rules don't say you cannot hide if you were seen clearly a few seconds ago (I.e. Earlier in the round). The requirement to hide is not being seen clearly. Period. That is exactly what happens when you break line of sight. You are...

Flamestrike, your responses get more and more absurd as we continue to discuss. I appreciate that you can rule your game as you see fit but you seem to have very little understanding of the RAW. Let's summarize, according to the rules of 5e: -- Being hidden has nothing to do with object...

So one character can make a single attack to cover an entire 10x10 area? The rules state a medium sized charter occupies a 5x5 area.

Okay lets say that the pcs saw the NPC go into a 50x50 area of darkness. When can the npc attempt to hide?
