[QUOTE="clearstream, post: 4396871, member: 71699"] I believe this isn't a condition triggered by moving 3 squares, but by being 3 squares away from your start square, however many it takes to move there. That is, you could move 6 squares and still not have Shadow Walk, if you circled no further than 2 from your start square. So far as the [B]if[/B] argument goes, [B]Buzz[/B] argues with some justice. Were it to be intended to implement at once, [B]when[/B] would have been more appropriate: you see when used elsewhere in the rules for that very reason. Even so, let's say you rule it's [B]when[/B] not [B]if[/B], that still leaves the question of whether you should be allowed to hide as part of an action in the expectation that cover will eventuate. I'm going to have to work up some cases for that, but until I do the safest answer would be 'no'. There are bound to be cases that have issues any other way. So without being 100% certain, my sense is that the cover has to pre-exist the action that intends to use it. Given that there are then a couple of unresolved doubts with using stealth as part of a move action relying on cover to eventuate from Shadow Walk, a safe ruling would be to hide with a minor after moving. Your Warlock trades a curse for CA and excellent defences this turn, receiving honest value for their investment in Stealth. -vk [/QUOTE]
