[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 6645987, member: 7006"] Because it is written in natural language, there are many places where someone's grammatical idiosycracies influence or change how the words are interpreted. Also, many people's understanding of what the hiding rules say is influenced by how they ran stealth in previous editions. The hiding rules are very much a smorgasbord of different little things spread out over many different chapters and sections. You have to read all of them, and mush the rules together to come up with how you wish to run it. And every person seems to be mushing them differently. This is either [i]good[/i], in that the rules are more open-ended and thus some DMs will take them and mush them into the stealth rules that best works for them and how they run their game... or [i]bad[/i] in that some DMs do not wish to have to do the mushing and just want it completely spelled out so there's no interpretation needed. Pretty much the standard issue of some DMs prefer Rulings, other DMs prefer Rules. [/QUOTE]
