[QUOTE="TDarien, post: 6650063"] the PC would need to have taken the Hide action in order to use Subtle Misty Step unnoticed. That may be obvious, but you can't be considered hidden without taking the Hide action on your turn. I think that some people may forget that, because it doesn't get mentioned explicitly very often. Also situations like these are exactly why hiding must be possible even if a creature sees the PC move there. Personally, I allow the PCs to get advantage from behind the crate...most of the time, but this is totally my call as a DM (I feel it falls within the "under certain circumstances" clause and is just more fun); you rule differently and that's perfectly ok. Usually if I have an especially smart monster/NPC they might spend their turn searching or ready an action to attack if the PC pops out. In such a situation the PC would not get advantage when shooting from behind the crate. [/QUOTE]
