[QUOTE="jaelis, post: 7288814, member: 60210"] The cover rules are pretty clear, but the hiding rules require some DM adjudication. If you have total cover from a creature, then you can certainly hide from it but you certainly can't attack it. If you have partial cover then you can certainly attack, but you'll have to convince your DM to let you hide. In the particular situation of hiding behind a corner, I would say that you can hide fine as long as you remain behind the corner. If you "lean out" to attack, then I would allow you to benefit from hiding only if the target doesn't have reason to believe you are behind that corner. If you simply step behind the corner, use cunning action to hide, and then pop back out to shoot, I wouldn't give you advantage. If you step behind one corner, hide, and then stealthily move to a [I]different [/I]corner, I would let you have advantage. --- I crossed your last post, but just to be clear: there's no question that the rogue can step behind the corner and hide. The question is whether he can then reveal himself enough to shoot without giving up his hiding spot. We don't have rules for that so it's really a DM call for when and how it works. [/QUOTE]
