[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 8494170, member: 6779196"] Only if every battle takes place in the exact same location. RAW the camouflage takes a minute to make and stops working if you move. That means the only way it can be useful in combat is if you know at least a minute in advance that combat is going to happen in this particular area, and you’re willing and able to wait motionless for your opponents to come to you. Now, if you want to house rule that you can take a minute to craft the camouflage and then keep it “in your back pocket” until some later time when you can use it to hide as an action, and it’s only after hiding with it that moving causes it to break, that’s potentially much more useful. But since you’re house ruling anyway at that point, you might as well take it a step further and get rid of the part where your ghille suit falls apart if you move. Right, that’s something I had to add to my house-ruled version. Since the camouflage doesn’t break when you move, limiting it to only working in the type of terrain from which you gathered the materials to make it (subject to DM discretion) keeps you from being able to make it just once and then use it anywhere and everywhere.
