[QUOTE="auburn2, post: 8200152, member: 6855259"] I don't understand what he meant when he said you are still hidden on a roof, I don't think he explained that example very well, but thematically there could be something he was thinking about when he said that, darkness for example. But he said many, many times exactly what I am saying. When I listen to that interview, my interpretation, with the exception of the roof, is 100% consistent with my interpretaion of the rules and my understanding of the intent. The point that sticks to me and what he says over and over and over is that you have to engage from the place where you are hidden. No going to a place where you are not hidden to shoot. You are picking the one exception which could be construed to be contrary to what he put in writing in his post, in writing in the PHB and said multiple times in the interview. You are not going to explain away the words: "shooting from cover and running out into the open are not the same thing" or "to really drill into the heart of the rule, if you are hidden and you can make the attack from the place where you are hidden" How do you "emerge from the place where you are hidden" while still being "in the place where you are hidden"? And if we are going to use a grid and spacing, if your space does not have "full cover" (broken LOS to all 4 corners) then the enemy by the rules has line of sight to you if you are in that space. You can not hide in such a space RAW unless you are obscured in some other way and you can't "emerge" while being in a space he can see you in to start with. [/QUOTE]
