[QUOTE="Caliban, post: 7110612, member: 284"] Why, when I'm clearly annoyed about something and have plainly stated I don't want to discuss the issue anymore, do people like you just :):):):)ing refuse to do me that simple courtesy and start demanding answers like I owe them something? In case you haven't noticed, I can be pretty condescending and rude when I get annoyed by someone. Me trying to end the conversation is my attempt to stop before that point. But hey, keep poking the bear, I'm sure this time will be different. Let me clue you in on something, since you insist on pestering me about this. I was never talking about non-combat hiding! I was giving a quick answer from work, so may not have gotten all the nuances of the original scenario. My understanding was the gargoyle was fleeing combat, and didn't have time to take the hide action (i.e move+dash, or drink potion of invis+move, etc), but was using their racial ability of staying really still and resembling a statue - which doesn't have an action listed, and is really the [B]opposite[/B] of taking an action. In the specific case of Gargoyles, not PC's. If you thought I was specifically addressing non-combat hiding, you were sorely mistaken, so demanding that I justify a scenario I wasn't talking about is just...really not very bright. And continuing to interrogate me about it after I've said I don't want to discuss it anymore is just plain rude. From both of you and schnee. My final answer to your demand that I describe a scenario for attempting to remain unnoticed that doesn't involve the hide action when outside of combat has two parts: A) Why are you demanding answers from me instead of Oofta, the guy who proposed the scenario? See my rant above for more details. B) If you aren't in combat and aren't worrying about action economy - what does it matter? You aren't tracking actions in six second intervals. The question is meaningless. [/QUOTE]
