[QUOTE="Johs, post: 6415074, member: 6784266"] I'm assuming in 'most' cases the Rogue would be using a missile weapon, but I never found a case where the rogue can Hide while at range (and in sight) for it to matter. [Cover] on p.196 says "There are 3 degrees of cover. A target with Half Cover has +2 bonus to AC and Dexterity saving throws... A low wall, piece of furniture... Three-quarters Cover has +5 bonus to AC and Dexterity saving throws... portcullis, an arrow slit, or a thick tree trunk... total cover can't be targeted directly by an attack or a spell, although some spells can reach such a target by including it in an area of effect. A target has total cover if it is completely concealed by an obstacle." So I don't believe being partially concealed by cover has anything to do with hiding. You could split your move to gain FULL cover, and hide, and come back, and fire like I suggested in my counter-argument, but no partial cover would ever need be necessary. [Wood Elf] Excellent catch! I thought I had read something about (everyone) being able to hide in heavy rain, but this must have been what I read. So this makes another great option for your Hide + Attack rogue, whenever you are [lightly obscured] by "foliage, heavy rain, falling snow, mist and other natural phenomena" (p.24 Mask of the Wild) [/QUOTE]
