[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8375632, member: 7032025"] These are not bad, but as you will see below, they are not complete and the circumstances can actually invalidate them... Unfortunately no. First, cover has no bearing on stealth. A Wall of Force gives you total cover bur is totally transparent and will not allow you to hide behind. Second, "total" is not needed, the rules are purposefully vague here: "You can't hide from a creature that can see you [B][U]clearly[/U][/B]", not "at all". The rule is more precise and actually simpler: "When a creature can't see you, you have advantage on attack rolls against it." Actually this is nowhere in the rules. It's totally up to the DM what happens if you try to hide in the same spot where you just attacked from, and depending on the circumstances, as a DM, I might make different rulings. Again, this is nowhere in the rules, which are fairly clear and have nothing to do with "charge", which is actually not a general game term. The only thing that is mentioned, AFAIK, is " if you come out of hiding and approach a creature, it usually sees you." You might have a houserule to that effect, but I would not apply it in my game. This is completely up to you but for me there are more drawbacks to applying this than applying just the RAW. [/QUOTE]
