You can run around a corner or behind cover so that you’re out of sight and then hide, but the others then know at least where you went."Otherwise known as...  wow maybe I shouldn't worry about someone going to pop out from behind the shield that just ran towards me.  Can you sneak attack from behind the shield while having Total Cover?  The answer would be a resounding no..  since the rules state that you can't make an attack while utilizing the Total Cover.</blockquote>
