[QUOTE="Plaguescarred, post: 6983583, member: 6701422"] A person that is lightly obscured is still seen. It'd need to be more heavily obscured to not be seen. Those features do say they can try to hide when lightly obscured or obscured only by a creature. Requiring to not be seen clearly in addition to that just make it more difficult for them to hide by requiring extra conditions to be met to use those features since everyone can already try to hide when not seen clearly, rather than being easier for them to by having the ability to hide in situations unavailable to most other creatures. But anyone not being observed can try to hide since they're not seen! These features are instead specifically allow one to try to hide when he otherwise couldn't, hence the sentence: "[I]Both subraces are capable of hiding in situations unavailable to most other creatures[/I]" "Normally, you can’t hide from someone if you’re in full view. A lightfoot halfling, [B]though[/B], can try to vanish behind a creature" is essentially saying it can try to hide when still seen it would not really make a halfling capable of hiding in situations unavailable to most other creatures if he needed to not be seen clearly isn't he?
