[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 9428620, member: 725"] If it is, could you instead of giving your interpretation, quote each step from the new PHB (with page number)? I've strung the separate rules together and that leaves a LOT of interpretation and making pretty big leaps between each rule. For example the Hide Action talks about 'finding', that isn't a game term. Why talk about a Hide Action and then not about a Find/Detect/Search Action? Also a DC 15 base for hiding means that an average human with no stealth skill has only a 30% chance of hiding, and that would mean that an average human would never detect a hidden person with a passive perception... You either need to be super human or have a very high level and have the perception skill... Or actively searching for something. Let's just accept that the 'invisible' condition is just a status name and not the actual effect. But you get the same condition when you cast the Invisible spell... You only use different conditions for it to end... Sure, I understand that DM rules for running monsters should be in the DMG OR the MM. Except that WotC decided to not release the DMG til 2 months later or the MM 5 months later. How the heck are you supposed to run a smooth game like that? Especially when the 2014 PHB was quite clear in how that worked for the DM: That is crystal clear! Where can I find that [I]one [/I]paragraph in the 2024 PHB that explains the surprise mechanics this concise and this clear? [/QUOTE]
