He could probably hide behind crates if he went prone or at the least crouched down, which is not a game state but obviously is possible. 2) I would probably give disadvantage if the cover is not very good & if he keeps doing it as the Barbarian will get wise, it's a judgement call though. It may not do much good though as Rogues can "take 10" on trained skills - PHB p96 Reliable Talent. 3) The rogue essentially needs to beat their passive perception when he tries to hide or he has given himself away. (more of hiding PHB p177). So it not even an action to use passive perception. If the Barbarian is actively looking he should get to roll an active check. This is the search action PHB p193. 4) Huh? I think active perception is usually some sort of action & passive perception is a not an action at all, usually.5) That seems reasonable if the hiding place is small like one crate but probably not in a warehouse full of crates. Probably only give him advantage or the rogue disadvantage not both based on the quality of the hiding place.The Barbarian saw where the rogue went, he just lost sight of him, so he can simply move. If he moves behind the cover such that it it is no longer blocking his view he will be able to see the rogue automatically, no check needed. (subject to the rogue not having found a better spot like under a table or something. Hope this helps!</blockquote>
