[QUOTE="Gnome, post: 2026727, member: 27530"] The scenerio I'm picturing is the rogue hides at the start of combat (assuming the party doesn't suprise the enemy group), then he uses his insanely high hide skill (this is a size fine creature) to remain hidden on his turn while moving full speed and attacking. Obviously after he hits he's no longer hidden. The hide rules do allow one to re-hide even after being discovered with a successful bluff check to distract the viewer, and a place to hide nearby. With a high enough hide skill, it should be theorettically possible to energe from hiding, sneak attack, then rehide all in the same round (with spring attack and swallowing an AoO). Anyway, it seems logical to me that if one is hidden up until the hit lands on an enemy, then the enemy has no way to react to it before hand without uncanny dodge or the like. [/QUOTE]
