[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7110035, member: 22779"] Well, to be fair, I'd probably agree that our warlock is hidden. I mean, that's about as rock solid as you can get - not only is he hidden by a very large darkness area, but, he's silent as well. There's no real way of knowing where he is, other than, "somewhere in the middle of that big dark sphere". OTOH, Darkness is what, a 20 foot radius? IDHMBIFOM, so, I'm going from memory. Aiming for the center of the circle shouldn't be too difficult. Then again, what about simply at night? The warlock is heavily obscured, obviously, and silenced. That means he's not completely undetectable? Seems a pretty easy way to become completely undetectable and extremely powerful. I mean, keep using abilities without flashy visible effects and you can be very, very dominant. But, in any case, so what? Yay, you found an example where it's possible to be completely hidden without taking the hide action. Good? Etherealness does exactly the same thing. Meld with Stone (is that a 5e spell anymore?) could do the same thing. Specific trumps general. Yup, that's true. I guess that trick is, where do you draw the line? Me, I set a much higher bar on this. [/QUOTE]
