Now, even though another halfling racial ability allows you to move through medium creatures' legs, he no longer has line of sight on you. Okay fine. But he KNOWS WHERE YOU ARE whether he can see you or not. Your attempt to hide is a fail. It's perfectly reasonable for me to rule that way because it follows the fiction. You are not going to be able to surprise him with a sneaky bowshot. That is abusing the system and the spirit of the sneak attack rule. Don't accuse me of violating RAW and then defend violation of RAI.It is NOT "generally accepted" that this mechanic works the way you describe it 100% of the time. MM specifically stated in that tweet that the INTENT was to let the DM decide.</blockquote>
