[QUOTE="Dracuwulf, post: 1177500, member: 14475"] Lets say a Rogue hides without anyone seeing him, then moves into a room where combat is taking place. Is he effectively invisible? If so, does he receive the +2 attack bonus against sighted opponents (3.5 DMG 301) in addition to ignoring their Dex bonus? Lets say his Hide result is really good, 35 lets say. From my understanding, a creature would have to beat it with a Spot check of 35 or higher. Would the enemies in the room automatically receive a Spot check if they never saw the Rogue? In the 3.5 DMG, on page 295, it says "a creature can generally notice the presence of an active invisible creature within 30 feet with a DC 20 Spot check" Doesn't this mean that if creatures using Hide (if its basically invisibility) are likewise detectable, instead of rolling a DC 35 Spot check as above? If there is a document somewhere explaining Hide, I'd really appreciate it if anyone could point it out. The PHB left me perplexed and the DMG only explains invisibility.
