[QUOTE="TDarien, post: 6361068"] I don't see how peeking is supported by the rules. Either you can see your target from your position, or you can't. If you can't you must move to a position where you can, even if that's only a very small distance (say 1 foot). And even if you allow leaning out of cover, it doesn't really change anything. You still have to make yourself visible. And please don't think that I'm not going to grant advantage in that situation 99% of the time. Because I will. However, if you hide behind total cover, you [I]must[/I] make yourself visible in order to attack. Which might allow you to be discovered. I'm putting this in the category of "under certain circumstances, the Dungeon Master might allow you to stay hidden as you approach a creature that is distracted, allowing you to gain advantage on an attack before you are seen." I'm not going to make my players make a second stealth check to see if they are discovered when the come out of hiding to attack, that seems excessive. They're going to get advantage the vast majority of the time. [/QUOTE]
