hide action players handbook - page 192 search action players handbook - page 193 unseen attackers players handbook - page 194-195 I have no idea what it says online in d&d beyond and while I reference sage advice and forums like this, I use the actual rulebooks as the primary source when I...

You are absolutely wrong the action itself is "hide". "Hide" is one of the 10 "actions" listed on page 192-193 of the PHB, similarly on the description of cunning action on page 96 lists it as the "hide action". "Dexterity (Stealth)" is not an action, it is a skill and is the skill normally...

Why do they need to succeed at a hide check at all? Unseen attackers get advantage, if you are unseen when you stick your head out you get advantage. I agree it is a common strategy to use hide and attack from a hidden location. It is not a common strategy to look out from behind a Rock in...

Why do they need to take the hide action (I assume you meant hide action, not stealth action)? What difference does that make? Unseen attackers get advantage whether they are hidden or not. I will point out Crawford said this in the video = specifically he said if you are invisible and...

Stealth is used for a lot of different things besides hiding, chief among them surprise and when you use stealth to hide and are successful it means you are "unseen and unheard".

Why do they need to take the hide action? There is no rule that says or implies that. Any unseen character has advantage. If a Rogue sticking his head out into clear view of the enemy is still unseen for long enough to make an attack then so is a fighter. Where in the rules does it say...

Like I said earlier. If leaning out or poping out does not make you visible why can't every character do this? Why can't a fighter just run behind a wall where he is unseen and "pop out" every turn to attack with advantage? If "poping out" does not expose you and make you visible why can't...

No most people do not have enough visual acuity to see other people in dense foilage from more than a few feet away. In d&D terms you are fully obscured. They might be able to tell where you are from shadows, or lack of light passing through an area, or a dark area you see through the leaves...

I think they mean exactly what they said in the rules - After you hit or miss you are no longer hidden. Meaning even if you meet all the other criteria and you are still unseen, you are not hidden. The enemy knows where you are. That does not mean the same as the enemy can see you. If you...

I don't understand what he meant when he said you are still hidden on a roof, I don't think he explained that example very well, but thematically there could be something he was thinking about when he said that, darkness for example. But he said many, many times exactly what I am saying. When...

The unseen attackers section says "When a creature can't see you, you have advantage on attack rolls against it. If you are hidden - both unseen and unheard- when you make your attack, you give away your location when the attack hits or misses." It says WHEN you make your attack, not UNTIL...

That is not true. You can be completely obscured by foilage. Or if you are in darkness and the enemy is in dim or bright light or anything else that stops vision. Think about playing hide and seek as a kid, you can hide in the bush and you can see "it" looking for you but he can't see you...

If you can shoot from behind the wall you absolutely can do it with advantage (assuming you can see the enemy from behind the wall/boulder). Let's say you are hiding behind a wall wearing a ring of x-ray vision and you toss your dagger in an arcing throw over the wall. Or if you are behind a...

Going strictly by RAW, being hidden is not what gives you advantage, being "unseen" is what gives you advantage. When you "pop out" you are not "unseen". Now being hidden by definition is being "unseen and unheard" so logically someone hidden RAW should always get the benefit. The thing is...

I don't think hde is saying you come out from behind something. The examples he gives are all examples where he is still hidden behind whatever he is hiding in/behind (foliage, tree tops, roof). It is not going out from behind a wall or a boulder and he says that in the end of this paragraph...

To start with he line of sight rules in the DMG talk about this specifically. If a line from one corner of the square you are on has a clear line to a corner of a square the enemy is on then both of you can see each other. If it doesn't then niether of you can see each other. There is no...

If you are visible there certainly is because you are not "unseen", and if you are not unseen you are not hidden RAW and RAI. Also the line of sight rules in the DMG would limit "looking out" from most areas that provide cover to hide in. If you can be hidden while your head is "peeking out"...

That is not what he said. He said over and over again that they have to shoot from "the place where you are hiding". He also specified in his post that "shooting from cover and running out into the open are not the same thing" I agree 100% he wants people to hide in combat and Rogues...

At what time does he say this? I listened to the entire thing and did not hear this. I heard him repeatedly say you must fire from the place where you are hidden. What I capitalized above were exact word for word quotes for the audio you posted.
