[QUOTE="Rodney Mulraney, post: 7217709, member: 6904821"] I agree the default party size is 4 pcs after all. But the 4 pcs might be engaged with different creatures, I think the question of if the creature being hidden from is being distracted by default by another pc or not is quite important and also quite fuzzy - it needs to be said. Hence according to cooperative rules of communication, it would have been said if it was the case. As the texts stand it seems to fit more in with our background knowledge that the creature being hid from was not engaged by some other pc, since the implicature is that they are not "distracted", hence they are able to be "aware and on lookout for danger". I mean your interpretation suggests that a barb swinging an axe in your face does not count as a distraction. We already know that in combat different pcs are not always engaged, they are just going in initiative order with the imminent threat of an attack. [/QUOTE]
