[QUOTE="Rya.Reisender, post: 6793939, member: 6801585"] As per rules, attacking always removes the "hidden" completely, so only your first attack will gain the benefits from being hidden. And yes, you can hide again after that as long as the enemy doesn't see you clearly the moment you attempt to hide. Hidden means you don't know the location of someone. Invisible means you can't see someone. The main difference between invisible and invisible+hidden is that if someone is just invisible, the attacker still knows the exact coordinates of the invisible target, whereas when the target is invisible+hidden, he will have to guess the location. There's no real need to apply some kind of extra advantage for knowing the location here, because there's already a benefit written right into the basic rules! Because if you don't know a target's location you have to guess it and if you guess it wrong, it's an auto-miss. However, if the target is just invisible, you don't have to guess the location, it's assumed to be correct, so there's no risk of auto-miss. The attack is still at disadvantage, though. If the target is invisible+hidden, but it's quite obvious where the target is because the obstacle it hides behind is small, then the advantage already is that it's easier to guess the correct location and thus avoiding an auto-miss.
