Maybe I've just not read the rules thoroughly enough, but I don't see where the apparent controversy is coming from. Here's how it's been working at my table:Stealth: You can make a stealth check as part of a movement action, if you have concealment or cover in any of the squares you move through. You may use this action to move 0 squares and hide. You are hidden from all creatures whose passive Perception you beat with the check. If you don't start your movement with cover or concealment, you become hidden as soon as you have cover or concealment. You cannot hide if you are carrying a light source.Hidden: You are invisible to all creatures that you're hidden from. You have combat advantage against those creatures, you don't provoke opportunity attacks from them, and they don't know your location. Melee and ranged attacks against you take the -5 penalty for total concealment.Perception: As a minor action, you can make a Perception check against the last Stealth check made by a hidden creature. If you succeed, you know the direction to that creature's square. If you succeed by 10 or more, you know that creature's exact location. The creature still has total concealment.Breaking Stealth: If at any point you have no cover or concealment from a creature (other than the total concealment granted by being hidden), you cease being hidden to that creature. If you use an attack power or make an attack roll, you cease being hidden immediately after resolving the attack. If you:* shout* carry or become a light source* undertake some other activity which the DM determines would give away your positionyou are no longer hidden.Anything unclear or ambiguous about this interpretation? Anything that contradicts the books? Note that I'm not looking for willful misreadings, just mistakes in the interpretation or writing.</blockquote>
