[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 8374540, member: 16814"] RAW is that the halfling can do it as often as they like. There is no limit on use at all. No, the lightfoot halfing ability is: You can attempt to [URL='https://www.dndbeyond.com/compendium/rules/basic-rules/combat#Hide']hide[/URL] even when you are obscured only by a creature that is at least one size larger than you. This says, directly, that you can attempt to hide in this case. There's no double check that the GM thinks you can be seen, here, this specific rule absolutely trumps the general. I can claim it's clear -- it's as clear as any other rule in the DMG. No, it's not a multiple source issue. It's clear wording on the halfling ability and the clear wording of specific trumps general. We don't even need to know the general rules for hiding, because the lightfoot ability is the specific one here and controls. [/QUOTE]
