But when they step out in front of you and wave, they are obvious

It's the same, except others within 10 feet can also hear the bell

It specifies sufficient end conditions. But it does not say they are exclusive end conditions. If they were exclusive, you would end up with the aforementioned absurd results. What if you light up the darkness with a magic item? What if you telepathically tell the guard exactly where you are...

Regarding Search checks, it does say that you make a "Wisdom check to discern something that isn't obvious." So you could also rule when something is obvious.

But it also doesn't specify any duration for the Invisible condition. The way people are reading it, you could crouch down behind a bush, become "invisible," and emerge still "invisible." You would then remain invisible for all time, until an enemy looked for you and found you, or you talked or...

Like an entire month of feeling very, very special

I would rule that, when A walks around the corner, B no longer has three quarters/total cover. And because B does not have cover, B cannot benefit from the hide action, and A sees B automatically. Unless, of course, it is dark...

It doesn't clearly follow from what is written, but it also does not not follow, haha. It could be argued both ways. The only thing that is clear is how unclear it is

Exactly. I don't think the Hide action is replacing stealth checks. Hide only works with cover or heavy obscurity. The way I read it, the active Search is necessary to see you when covered or obscured, but if you are no longer covered or obscured, you cannot benefit from the Hide action (aka...

Alas, it may not be helpful. "The DM uses this score when determining whether a creature notices something without consciously making a Perception check." I've been posting in the other thread. I don't think the Hide action is replacing stealth checks. Hide only works with cover or heavy...

So, per the Hide rules, the condition ends if the enemy finds you. The way I read it, the enemy needs to succeed on a Search check only when you are heavily obscured or behind three quarters cover. If you are no longer heavily obscured or behind cover, the condition ends if the enemy looks at...

I think you are thinking of the class spell lists. Crawford talked about how they are in the class features now, and the lists have a little more information, namely spell school and duration, and whether it has costly material components.

I only went for Thursday! Ms. LaTia was going around interviewing people who were buying the PHB. I've seen some people around that I usually only see on YouTube. I'll be honest...I didn't go to any panels. I just went there to shop!

True Strike does regular weapon damage or radiant damage, using spellcasting ability, and yes, one attack. Then it scales up like you say. Shilelieileigheilehgihelgh: It still applies to multiple attacks, and the damage die goes up: d10, d12, 2d6.

Heroic Inspiration lets you reroll any die (not just D20s) after rolling it, and you must take the new roll. If you gain Heroic Inspiration but already have it, you can pass it to someone else!

"For the duration, you see objects and creatures that have the Invisible condition as if they were visible, and you can see into the Ethereal plane." Wait, does that mean the spell reveals hidden creatures? Hmmm...

Yes, you are presumably translucent, or have some kind of psychic disruption, or something that makes you supernaturally invisible. "Hide" makes you invisible so far as you are not visible to others behind a wall or in the dark. The spell gives you the condition without requiring darkness or cover.

The new PHB, regarding Hiding, says "The Dungeon Master decides when circumstances are appropriate for hiding." They kept it loose. I believe they are using the word "invisible" as a synonym for "not visible," rather than "you turn translucent."
