[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 9590787, member: 467"] I would eliminate the use of stealth related conditions entirely. It just creates confusion. To determine if a hiding character is observed by a creature or character, compare the Stealth check versus the target creatures Perception (Passive or roll, depending on if the creature is actively looking). If the person hiding has full cover or concealment (behind a door, in total darkness against an enemy without darkvision) the Stealth roll is made with Advantage. If the individual hiding is somehow potentially exposed but still able to hide, such as if they are wearing heavy armor, have a powerful odor, etc..., they have Disadvantage on the roll. A hidden character is no longer hidden after they complete one of the following: make an attack, cast a spell that has a verbal component, moves into line of sight of the creature they are hiding from, or ends their movement no longer in cover or concealment. Otherwise, whenever the hiding character performs an action or moves, creatures who may notice are given a new perception roll. If a creature is hidden from another when it makes an attack, it gets advantage on the attack roll. [/QUOTE]
