[QUOTE="Kordeth, post: 4400198, member: 5036"] Not really. There's still a great deal of benefit to having the entirety of your movement hidden. In this case, the orcs don't know exactly where behind the pillar rogue A is, because they lost sight of him when he moved behind it--but they certainly know he moved that way and went behind the pillar, and unless that pillar conveniently backs up onto a labyrinth, they probably find him again pretty quick. Roughe B, on the other hand, distracted them--they don't know [i]where[/i] he went. He might be behind the pillar, or he might be on the balcony, or through the door into the next antechamber. Advantage still goes to Rogue B. In this case, Rogue A is hidden for his [i]entire[/i] movement. The orcs don't even see him cross the four open squares between pillar one and pillar two. Rogue B, on the other hand, is plainly seen to dash out from behind one pillar, run across the room, and move behind another pillar where the orcs lose sight of him. Gee, I wonder where Rogue B is? Advantage: Rogue A. Stealth is not invisibility, nor is it a magic amnesia pill that makes people forget everything you did this round. [/QUOTE]
