So there is even no need to discuss theoretically, you can make a Dexterity (Stealth) check only when the DM decides the conditions are appropriate. She could decide they are never appropriate in combat, until they actually are for some specific reason, while another DM might decide they always are except when they aren't, and both would be playing the game right.</blockquote>
