It is clearly how the rules are written. It's not counter-intuitive, it just seems kind of silly, which is why everyone has problems with it.Please note that the 'hiding while attacking rule' is a general rule, stated early in the description, while the 'sniping' rule is a special rule described later. Anyway, what I said in my previous post is how I've chosen to interpret it.Sheng Long Gradilla - You're right, the ranger doesn't need cover and concealment. I should've read the Camouflage ability!Whether there is cover or concealment, if you're attacking and not hiding, you're visible. By the RAW, you can choose to hide while attacking, at a -20 penalty.  They describe this as 'practically impossible', not 'impossible'.</blockquote>
