[QUOTE="Flamestrike, post: 6618964, member: 6788736"] He attacks from hiding (with advantage). Once the attack is resolved (hit or miss, unless he has the skulker feat), he is no longer hidden and every creature in the room can see him now (and importantly - now[U] know where he is[/U]). As he is now observed, and his location is now known, he cannot go back into hiding behind that barrel. A monster is not going to suddenly forget he's there if he pops back behind the barrel. He will have total cover or concealment though if he ducks back down. Seeing as the monster saw where he went (watched him duck back behind the barrel) he cannot hide in that spot. The problem with hiding isnt the rules. Its a problem with people trying to read the hiding sidebar in the rules as 'RAW' when its not, and people not applying common sense (which the rules clearly infer you to do). If someone knows where you are, you're not hidden from them. Why this trips people up. I'll never get. [/QUOTE]
