[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7247458, member: 6801845"] Depends on your DM. Hiding and stealth is left vague on purpose to allow for different styles and feel. Some people rule that hidden is a "condition" you either have or don't. Others, like me say that "it depends"; basically who could have seen where the arrow came from and were they paying attention. Let's say you're following some goblins who are tired from a long trek. The caravan is noisy, it's bright out (goblins hate that in my world). You snipe one of the goblins in the back and kill it instantly. There's a chance no one knows where you are. On the other hand, let's say you are hidden but the enemy knows there's [I]someone[/I] out there. They're scanning the woods, you shoot and several of them know where you are and can point you out to anyone who didn't see it. Being hidden is an opposed check between you and individuals, it's not a condition like previous editions. BTW, you may have spawned a lot of posts ... this is for some reason a controversial subject. [/QUOTE]
