[QUOTE="Flamestrike, post: 8038827, member: 6788736"] I'll happily state that if your group [I]needs [/I]a FAQ like this, then it seems your table likely has bigger problems. Im not saying you're playing wrong here either. It just reeks to me that you may have issues at your table. I can rock up to DM an AL game with totally different players, and not need anything of the sort, because Im the DM, I make rulings, and that's just how it goes. If you have a problem with rules lawyers to the extent you need a muti-page document, including wordy FAQ on something as basic as the Hiding rules, then your problem most likely lies somewhere else other than the hiding rules. If the players want to know the rules on hiding, hand them the PHB. During actual play, just DM those rules. If a player whines about it, correct him, and again refer him to the PHB, and remind him you're the DM and that's how it goes. If he does it again, be firmer. If he does it a third time, show him the door. [/QUOTE]
