[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 8030164, member: 177"] My point being that (just by the name of the feat- Alert) the implication is that the character [I]does[/I] get some information just before the round begins. At which point we should note that the arrow gives an indication of direction - everyone else may be sussing out that point, but the Alert character gets that instantly, and probably should be told where, along its line of flight, the enemy might be hiding. The enemy is still hidden or obscured - you can't directly target them individually with spells, and you'd be at disadvantage if you attacked before they show themselves. Or, alternatively - there's noting that the arrow implies [I]an attack has already been made[/I]. Does the attacker have the ability to attack and hide in the same round? If not... they are standing [I]right there[/I], where the Alert person can see them... [/QUOTE]
