Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chaosmancer" data-source="post: 9431714" data-attributes="member: 6801228">I am so tired. Do you know how many people claimed that WoTC hates all DMs because they had loose rules that were not stricter and put all the weight on the DM to figure out? How many video essays were made on that very topic? Now, we have slightly stricter rules that give the DM more guidance... and that just shows that WoTC is incompetent because if they are read EVEN STRICTER than they are intended to be read, then you can create absurd scenarios. You know the hide action mentions having cover, right? You know that cover is RELATIVE to another creature, correct? I mean, if I press my back to a crumbling wall whether or not I have cover depends on which side of the wall the enemy is on. But no, the entire basic functionality of the hide action has nothing to do with hiding from an enemy, because they didn't specifically state that, despite it breaking if an enemy finds you , and stating you need to be out of an enemies line of sight, and that the you need cover or obscurement from the enemy. But nope, you don't need an enemy at all, hide from absolutely nothing for no reason whatsoever so you can enjoy endless invisibility without spending a spell slot. I hope all your players approach every single house rule you make with all of the same energy you keep bringing to this, forcing you to constantly get more and more and more specific with every pass, lest your rules allow them to do something absurd that you didn't intend. Meanwhile, I'm going to be playing with adults who don't insist on these stupid word games to show that the rules are bad and broken and WoTC is incompetent or terrible.</blockquote>
