[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 9633713, member: 11"] I know combat is turn-based, but everything is all happening at once or in very fast succession, so know the flow of events is crucial for me in making decisions on how to apply the rules. What the enemies have seen and what they know does not change or go away just because it is not their turn. I guess for me to rule, I'd like to know what happened the turn before? Whether the halfling counts as hidden on his turn, depends in part on what has been happening until that point. To break it down as basically as I can: If the enemies know where the halfling is because they saw him move there, even if he is out of sight, then he does not count as hidden, just having full cover. If he was able to move out of sight and then remain out of sight while moving elsewhere (based on a roll) so they can't know where he is (even though they know he is probably still around) then yes, he is hidden. This is why he is definitely hidden in the [I]fog cloud[/I]. He has a lot of space to move around in without being seen, so it would be impossible for the enemies to pinpoint his position without a special sense or something like keen hearing. [/QUOTE]
