[QUOTE="Shard O'Glase, post: 403367, member: 1134"] [b]Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: How would you emulate a 1E/2E Cloak of Elvenkind?[/b] I'd say sort of. If there is no place to hide, there is no place to hide.(you can consider it impossible or just such an absurdly large circumstance penalty you can't do it without being epic, or having special abilities) But as a general rule most places have at least some areas to hide in, without detailed tactical maps of the entie planet each foot detailed its generally assumed you can hide. But if the DM says there is a corridor, well lit, no shadows,no objects in it, and a guard facing you. Trying to sneak down it probably isn't the best plan. On the other hand a moonlit beach seems to be a decent place ot nseak up on someone. Why, sand isn't perfectly smooth, there will be shadows, dunes etc to hide in/behind. Now you actually would have to hide, so you can't just stroll up to them because your cloak is on. So the cloak wouldn't work likethey did in 1e/2e. [/QUOTE]
