Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rya.Reisender" data-source="post: 6793951" data-attributes="member: 6801585">[MENTION=45197]pming[/MENTION]While 5e allows put it into the DMs hands to decide when someone is concealed enough to attempt to hide and when someone is so obviously visible his hiding ends immediately, the stealth roll and the advantages of being hidden are still written right into the basic rules, so if you remove that you are actually house-ruling (which is fine, but not as you say how 5e is meant to be played - and you will just confuse people who just want to know how it works according to the rules).There is a reason why it's not fully left to the DM and that's mostly balance. You will want to give some strategy to hiding while at the same time not make it by default the superior or less superior choice. A stealth roll gives you a risk vs. reward.As DM you simply have to narrate these things so they don't feel dumb. I don't narrate "The halfling rogue moves behind the fighter and suddenly all the creatures wonder where he went", instead I narrate something more like "The rogue silently moves behind his allies back and forth until the creatures last track of him". [MENTION=6798581]Azurewraith[/MENTION]Rogues already deal more damage than any other class (on some levels), so allowing advantage to apply to all attacks is a quite powerful houserule. [MENTION=6791461]Amatiel[/MENTION]Yes, they can. They need to use an action (or bonus action, if they are level 2+ rogues) to do so in combat.Assuming he won the stealth check against the passive perception of all enemies, then yes. It means the orcs don't know his location anymore.Exactly, he has advantage on his first attack, after that everybody sees him clearly, so he's no longer hidden from anyone and everyone knows where he is.</blockquote>
