[QUOTE="Abraxas, post: 1613743, member: 1266"] We weren't doubters. We were using the RAW. The RAW have now been changed. WoTC should now update the errata to remove attacking from the list of nearly impossible things you can do while hiding. And the Hide skill needs to be changed to include something like the following: [font=00CelestiaAntiqua-Semibold][size=1][font=Arial][b]Action:[/b] Using the Hide skill is [/font][/size][/font][font=Arial][size=1]a move action. [/size][size=1]If you have 1 rank or more in the Hide skill, you can Hide as a free action as part of a regular move. [/size][/font] The sad thing is if this is what they meant from the beginning this is all they would have had to have written from the beginning - the basic text was already in the PHB in the section on actions. Just remember, now you can never use the hide skill to get in a melee sneak attack unless it initiates a surprise round or you win initiative and go before your opponent (in which case it's really the target being flat footed that lets you get a sneak attack in). Feh. Because it was just tooooo powerful for the 7 shadowdancers out there. [/QUOTE]
