Encounter&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Martial, Weapon
Standard Action&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Melee or Ranged weapon

Requirement: You must be wielding a crossbow, a light blade, or a sling.
Effect: Before the attack, you shift 3 squares.Cunning Sneak: After the shift, you can make a Stealth check to become hidden.
Target: One creature
Attack: Dexterity vs. AC
Hit: 2[W] + Dexterity modifier damage. You shift 3 squares.Cunning Sneak: After the shift, you can make a Stealth check to become hidden.
If I understand the consensus above, when a power says &quot;you can make a Stealth check to become hidden&quot;, you get to do just that; whether or not you get to keep the hidden status depends on the circumstances.So, say my rogue uses Fleeting Spirit Strike to shift three squares, but it's into open terrain, no cover or concealment; he makes his stealth check and becomes hidden, but then loses it immediately. Does he still &quot;retain the benefits of being hidden&quot; for the attack itself? Or, does that not qualify as &quot;my own actions&quot; in &quot;All situations that cause you to lose hidden status by your own actions only apply when your action is complete&quot;?</blockquote>
