[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 8494470, member: 6779196"] Yes, but you hide once you are camouflaged. There is no after you apply the camo but before you hide. Hiding is the benefit of the camo. Except the bolded part. It doesn’t say [I]after[/I] you spend 1 minute applying the camouflage, it says [I]once you are camouflaged.[/I] If you interpret “once” to mean “at any point you want after,” then you can also stop being hidden at any point you want after moving, which is self-evidently not correct. Whatever, I don’t care to argue with you about what the RAW is here. If you rule that it works that way, it’s better. But if you’re going to rule that way, I say you might as well rule that the camo lasts after moving too.
