[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8494544, member: 7030563"] Any time after you camo. RAW, you could hide a tenday after you applied the camo, because an hour, a tenday, a year are all after that. Nothing in the rules says or implies this. It does not say you can take no other action except hie between when you apply the camo and press yourself against the wall. You are adding words into the ability. Heck applying the camo and hiding are in two separate paragraphs, in th English language that it applies to two separate points. The bolded part is after you hide, not after you apply the camo. If it was the other way around it would be in the first paragraph, not in the second paragraph. I am not following the second part. The RAW are pretty clear: 1. You apply camo 2. At any point thereafter, in any location that has a surface larger than you, you press yourself up against something and take the hide action 3. You remain hidden there with a +10 to your stealth, until you move, take an action or reaction or I suppose die of hunger 4. You can't complete this sequence again until after you spend a minute applying the camo again. The camo does last after moving, just not after hiding (or more accurately hiding with a +10 after pressing yourself against the wall). Happy Holidays! [/QUOTE]
