[QUOTE="James McMurray, post: 4343879, member: 743"] If the cover is not large enough to block line of sight, it can't be hidden behind. I'd assume that a 2' wall was too small to hide a 6'4" dragonborn. If you think it can though: If he's successfully hidden, he has total concealment. Not if he's hidden. However, the goblin knows exactly where he was and that he's probably still very near, so it shouldn't be too hard to that goblin to step up on that wall and commence to swinging. As silly as it sounds, by the rules he should have stealth, although it may or may not require another stealth check depending on how you interpret the "part of the action you're trying to hide" clause. If he can be seen, he's not hidden. I used "concealed" when I should have used any of the other synonyms for hidden, because concealment has a specific meaning in D&D. Sorry for the confusion. "Out of sight" (Merriam-Webster's definition) means the same thing in normal usage, but avoids crossing up with game terms. Undetected and Unseen work as well. [/QUOTE]
