[QUOTE="WanderingMystic, post: 9422787, member: 69157"] So in my opinion is as follows. 1: make your hide check while no one is looking as long as you get at least a 15 or higher you are now "invisible". 2: when you enter into an area where someone could possibly see you the dm checks their passive perception vs the number you rolled...let's say you rolled a 17 and they have a passive perception of 14. They don't notice you (Note: passive checks are detailed in the DMG now since they are not player facing) 3a: You decide to walk right up to the guard because you are being silly, well the dm give the guard advantage on their passive check and they spot you since their passive is now a 19. 3b: Even though you are in their line of sight you move to encircle them coming up behind them. In this case you are not moving close to them not in bright light so the situation doesn't change. If the guard uses his action to perform the search action they might spot you. 3c: The guard is a dwarf with active tremor sense or has the blind fighting fighting style when you get close enough they see you no check needed.
