[QUOTE="FormerlyHemlock, post: 6613636, member: 6787650"] In my game, ToTM is common, and there would be no such thing as "have to choose the correct square." Instead it's binary: if you're hidden, you (effectively) can't be attacked[1]. If you've given away your position with attacks/spells, you can be attacked at disadvantage until you hide again. "Have to choose the correct square" is unappealingly gamey and also unrealistic, since most missile weapons arc through multiple squares. It makes obscurement [I]waaaaay[/I] too powerful and hard to adjudicate. -Max [1] If an enemy started randomly spraying missile weapons in all directions, I would do something on a case-by-case basis depending on terrain. In a tunnel, maybe as high as 50% chance to hit something (i.e. 50% chance to make an attack roll at disadvantage). In the open, essentially zero probability. [/QUOTE]
