[QUOTE="Patryn of Elvenshae, post: 1727457, member: 23094"] For those who support "Hiding in Combat": Suppose a battle is raging in the center of a standard 20' by 20' room, with standard hallways leading away from it. The hallway leading to the south has a 90 degree bend in it 10 feet from the room. There's an orc standing in the hallway, past the bend. On his turn, he shuffles around the bend and makes it to the center of the room, attacking one of the engaged warriors (moved his speed and attacked). Is that warrior denied his dexterity bonus against the attacking orc? Assuming you say no... Now, shorten the hallway by 5' (so now it's only 5' of hallway before the bend), and rerun the scenario. Is the warrior denied his Dex bonus? Continue to move the bend in the hallway closer to the battle until the battle is taking place just in front of the bend in the hallway, such that the orc can reach the battle with only a 5' step. At what point does the answer change? [/QUOTE]
