Hey, all. How do you folks run hide in plain sight at your tables? What are some of the ways your players have applied it in combat? I've never DMed a player with hide in plain sight before, and I wanted some tips or advice concerning player use so it's not abused.
The player in question is a big NWN fan, and I'm worried that he's going to doggedly assume that his PC (a ranger) can hide at any time, regardless of the conditions (which must be "natural," I know), desiring to use it just like it's used in NWN (attack/hide immediately/attack, repeat). I don't want him thinking that he can just "go invisible" at any time, especially since his hide ranks are almost ALWAYS going to be way higher than most foes' spot checks. I'm afraid it might break my campaign.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
