If the rules mean you can't use a free action to communicate, or that there are significant restrictions on doing so, they should say so. What they do say is you can speak a few sentences: 'He's there, where Grog took a dump.' Points. (Filthy Orcs.)  His musing was intentional toward a general principle, with a specific example added for emphasis. It elaborated on what sharing information might imply, being a couple of posts down the thread from the earlier remarks.  The most obvious method being X, Mearls would have no reason to include words describing X, as any reader would know he intended X. My counter-argument is that the most obvious method is not X but Y, which is to use a Free action as provided for in the rules to communicate the exact location of the spotted enemy. In classic form, you will now need to demonstrate X is preferrable to Y. Be warned that I intend to argue that Mearls did in fact refer to something close to Y (sharing information), and nothing at all like X. I can see you are interested in getting Stealth right, and I respect that; so rather than continue down this pernicious line of argument, may I invite you instead to critique with a view to enhancing? -vk</blockquote>
