Really?
A Gargoyle 'being motionless' is a Hide attempt. Invisible lets you hide for free. Right? So, not 'automatic'. The Gargoyle is trying to Hide.
Nope. The gargoyle hasn't taken the "Hide/Stealth" action. That's the whole point - becoming essentially undetectable without actually using the Stealth skill.
Different scenario: A warlock with Devil Sight has both Darkness and Silence on him (he and the cleric work out the details) and then moves until an enemy is under the effect of both spells.
The enemy now automatically fails all sight and hearing bases perception checks - does the warlock still have to take an action to Hide from the enemy?
