[QUOTE="TaranTheWanderer, post: 8100048, member: 15882"] Ok, so the annoying thing about 5e is following the trail of conditions: [B]Invisibility:[/B] Makes you Heavily Obscured [B]Heavily Obscured:[/B] A creature effectively suffers from the [URL='https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Conditions#h-Blinded']Blinded[/URL] condition (see [URL='https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Conditions#h-Conditions']Conditions[/URL] ) when trying to see something in that area. [B]Blinded Condition: [/B] A blinded creature can’t see and automatically fails any ability check that requires sight. So, your Hide check, while invisible auto-succeeds since you are Heavily Obscured and all checks that rely on sight automatically fail? Or, the person has to rely on scent and hearing and gets to make a regular perception check (or hide check against Passive Perception at a normal DC?) Or, the person gets advantage to hide(or the opponent gets disadvangate) on the check? Like...totally hand-wavey stuff here. It's just up to the DM to adjudicate what happens. So, potentially, your Hide action is an action on your turn that auto-succeeds. Potentially. Like, in a noisy combat where a person has no chance of distinguishing your footprints from the melee going on. So, if it was me, I'd say, during a combat, an invisible person would, usually, get advantage against everyone who gets disadvantage to their Passive Perception. Something like a dog would get a normal check because of their scent ability. [/QUOTE]
