[QUOTE="Alomir, post: 5097671, member: 6622"] Thanks all for the replies! This is just what I was thinking - you get to make the check, but it's only going to be relevant if you have cover or concealment (but not superior/total, due to Cunning Sneak), unless there are other powers/effects in play. ---------- This is pretty cut and dried (and thus I like it) - but where is it from? I cannot find that exact phrase in the rules. Also, it seems to contradict this part of the stealth rules: If you do not lose hidden status until the end of the action, you would not need to "retain the benefits". ---------- Assuming it's a failure of mine to find/understand the rules, and hidden status is retained until end of action, this raises another real question: (4) If my rogue is hidden, makes an attack that with an after-the-attack effect that includes "make a stealth check to become hidden", and successfully makes his stealth check - was he ever NOT hidden at any point in there? If hidden status is retained until end of action, then he never lost hidden status - but this just doesn't quite feel right (this could easily be a melee attack as well as a ranged attack). ---------- For reference, here's the stealth rule about attacking (rather nebulous): [/QUOTE]
