[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 9594125, member: 2067"] Sure. Fly speed of 10 feet, so pretty slow regardless. Stealth rules being the ambiguous mess they are, this is somewhat up to DM judgement, but I wouldn't give any extra advantage that being invisible and being a cloud don't already confer. I could probably be talked into Advantage if the player wants to advocate for it, but I don't think there's anything that would grant that by RAW. The gaseous form spell doesn't make one any stealthier than normal (which seems a little odd, but maybe the spell itself is a little noisy while in effect). Ambiguous Stealth Rules caveat again, but I'd typically say that once you take the Hide action, you don't need to take it again to remain hidden. 2014 text states "Until you are discovered or you stop hiding...", so I don't think you need to repeat the check. You can take it again if you want to try to roll higher, but as long as you aren't discovered and you don't stop hiding, you can let that one Stealth check ride indefinitely. Ambiguous Stealth Rules caveat. Usually, you can move without hinderance as long as you don't come out of hiding, so I'd say that applies here. As long as "the conditions are appropriate for hiding" (DM's call), you can stay hidden. Floating 20 ft. as an invisible cloud doesn't seem like coming out of hiding to me, so I'd let 'em move around without having to repeat the check (for as long as the invisibility lasts, anyway).
