[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 7285747, member: 59816"] You definitely qualify for the hide action. I guess the question is: can you use dex (stealth) checks in combat for "free" (no action) or do you [i]have[/i] to use the Hide action. The rules don't seem to say either way, so I would assume, if I had to, that the intention is that if you want to hide, you gotta Hide. (My reasoning being that those are the rules that DO exist for hiding, as opposed to the other way of doing it, which aren't anywhere.) If you follow me. It's clunkier in the "feel" of it - in that rather than the "feeling" that you are sneaking, you feel like you're walking up, and then stopping and "hiding". So it's clunky, but it works out (distance-to-time-wise) the same as the half-speed stealth (though that "feels" more like sneaking). But you're not able to "dash" sneakily, unless you're a rogue. Which I can get behind. At any rate, you should all be able to get closer without being seen. I probably should have just started the whole thing a bit closer, but I didn't think about the idea of everyone taking the time to creep up on him. I [i]should[/i] have, but I didn't. [/QUOTE]
