[QUOTE="Flamestrike, post: 8100588, member: 6788736"] Depends on the result of their Stealth check result to Hide via the Action. [B][U]Example:[/U][/B] An Invisible (but not hidden) PC (3rd level Wizard, movement 30', Stealth +5) is in melee combat with an Orc (Perception +0, passive perception 10). It's the Wizards turn and he wants to sneak away from the Orc, taking advantage of his invisibility. It is resolved like this: 1) PC Wizards turn starts. 2) PC Wizard [B]takes the Hide action.[/B] He compares his Stealth check result (Rolls 7, +5 for Stealth, total of 12) v the Passive Perception of the Orc (10). As the roll is higher, the Wizard is now hidden relative to the Orc. 3) The Wizard moves away 30'. Note that even if the PC was not hidden, the Orc still cant make an AoO vs him as he walks away as the Orc cannot [I]see [/I]the Wizard. 4) PC's turn ends. [B][U]The Orc now has no idea where the PC is. He cant attack him at all without a lucky guess.[/U][/B] 1) Orcs turn starts 2) Orc starts sniffing around, and scanning for footprints (he [B]takes the Search action[/B]). Orc rolls his Perception (+0 bonus) vs the Wizards Stealth check result (12). He rolls a 13 and passes, noticing faint footprints in the dirt on the ground, and catches a whiff of the Wizards spell components and sweat. The Wizard is still invisible, but no longer hidden relative to the Orc. 3) The Orc moves 30' towards the Wizard, ending in an adjacent square. Note the Orc cannot use its 'Aggressive' trait to move to the Wizard as a bonus action, as this ability requires a 'target you can see' and the Orc cant see the Wizard (the wizard is not hidden, but he's still invisible). He has to move using his movement. 4) The Orcs turn ends. Next round, the Wizard can try (again) to Hide, and then move away, following the rules above. Get how it works? [/QUOTE]
