Message: <blockquote data-quote="James McMurray" data-source="post: 4344381" data-attributes="member: 743">You cannot hide from someone that has an unblocked line of sight to you (phb p. ). If that goblin steps up on the 2' wall, you can't hide. If the wall can't hide you, you can't hide behind it. This is true, but as soon as they have an unblocked line of sight, you can no longer hide. Hiding is kinda like invisibility that can be broken if they look at you. <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=":)" /> The word hidden means unseen. If you're unseen, you qualify for total concealment because they "can’t see the target." (phb p. 281) Full lungs aren't a condition, but characters have them. Memories aren't a condition, but characters have them (as evidenced by Knowledge skills if nothing else). It doesn't have to be listed as a condition to have an affect on the game.It's not willy-nilly. It's a dictionary.If the goblin steps up on your wall, you do not have an unbroken line of sight. If he can see you, you are not hidden. For concealment the adjacent square must count as heavily obscured. To grant cover it must count as a low wall. If the GM rules that 2' is a low enough wall to hige a 6' 4" dragonborn, that's cool. I personally wouldn't. If he sees you, either you're not hidden (which means "unseen") or you were hidden and he madehis perception check, and therefor you aren't hidden. you think they intended for you to be able to hide behind something that can't hide you, get seen, and still be hidden?You can, but he's gonna need to be really dumb to not find you pretty quickly. And he'll probably ask why you're doing all this dunking, when you should be ducking.
