If you're only wanting to hide, you can take a "vapor" move action where you don't move any squares, or even some random free action. You can combine it with readying (and then not take your readied action). Delaying isn't an action though, so you couldn't stealth and delay.I personally wouldn't bother with that level of technicality  forcing a player to choose a second action to perform, but RAW you have to do something besides just hiding. Knowing our group, we'd get a lot of people using a free action to "speak in sign language" some sort of rude gesture. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Yes, you can hide, and yes, they'll be unaware. The first place they'll look is the last place they saw you, so they might find you quickly, but it's possible.Its easy to get wrapped up in the rules and forget that they're based on a framework of logical thought and words that have predefined meanings.Are there any other ambiguities we can help with?</blockquote>
