[QUOTE="Leugren, post: 4326518, member: 44754"] Yes, the creature sees me all the way, but when I reach the square at the end of my move which provides me with cover, I get to make a Stealth check, because I now have cover. If I succeed, I have combat advantage. The creature knows where I went, but he can't see me right now unless he succeeds at a Perception roll. If I have this power, I am Stealthed during my entire move assuming that I succeed on my Stealth check, even though part of that move carries me across squares that afford my opponent a full line of sight to me. My opponent basically has no idea where I went. If I lack this power, the creature watches me move from one area of cover to the other, so he knows exactly where I am when I reach my new area of cover, but even though he has a good idea of where I am, he still cannot see me if I succeed at my Stealth check. It's not that complicated. Your own interpretation of the rules fails by the KISS principle: [B]Rogue:[/B] I am currently in full view, but I run to that area of cover and attempt a Stealth check. [B]DM:[/B] You cannot attempt the Stealth check because you started your move in full view. [B]Rogue:[/B] OK, but I still have a minor action left, so when I finish my move, I attempt to scratch my ass stealthily. [B]DM:[/B] OK, now that you've scratched your ass, you can make your Stealth check; the kobolds can't see you now, so you can gain combat advantage. In all of the postings by the various CSRs, we only have one that seems to involve any sort of a dialog with an actual game designer/developer and it states this: [/QUOTE]
