[QUOTE="Paul Strack, post: 4400181, member: 71340"] My interpretation is the you cannot use Stealth in either case. I think you need c/c for the entire move. After all, the RAW states "Part of whatever action you are trying to perform stealthily.", not "Part of whatever [I]portion[/I] of an action you are trying to perform stealthily." If you are allowed to pass through open squares during your move and still hide, then using Bluff for a Distraction and the Rogue's Shadow Stride power become useless. For example: Rogue A spends a standard action, yells "Look, a monkey!" to bluff the orcs, then runs behind a pillar and hides. Rogue B tells Rogue A, "Dude, you are a such an idjut", spends a standard action to hit an orc with a dagger, then casually strolls behind another pillar and hides because he ends at a concealed space. On the next turn, Rogue A says "I move like the night", and uses Shadow Stride to move from one pillar to the next, making a Stealth check to remain hidden. Rogue B mutters, "Yeah, whatever", saunters over to the next pillar and hides again just because he ends at a concealed space. [/QUOTE]
