[QUOTE="Rodney Mulraney, post: 7217986, member: 6904821"] I am not having trouble with those rules, I interpret then as intended, as supported by the link to Crawfords tweet and his podcast I linked earlier in this thread. You are free to rule it how you want, but the example you give is specifically clarified by Crawford, as to be intended to be interpreted as I do, that is how they say we should interpret them, even if you think that interpretation is ridiculous, or abusive. The DMs NPCs can always just walk around the obstruction the PC is hiding behind and see them, or do a whole host of other things that easily overcome a PC hiding behind the only pillar in teh room. EDIT: BTW im a DM, I rarely get a chance to be a player. EDIT2: Sorry if I'm coming across as a bit of a jerk, I do not intend to. Basically a few years ago, we lost heart with WH40k due to GW decisions, and looked into D&D, I was instantly hooked, brought the three core rule books and have been DMing for a few years. My main concern is that as a DM and I providing a "proper" and "clean" 5e experience to my players. Since I'm new and learning alot still, I just want to know for myself how to properly be a 5e DM. I joined this forum to get help with firearms rules for 5e, and have been interested in various posts that pertain to various fuzzy areas that are still a little uncertain in my mind. I mean the whole stealth/hiding thing, had me confused for a while, and it was only about 1 year ago, that finally I was implementing that mechanic properly (as far as I am aware). So getting this stuff clear and accurate is important to me. [/QUOTE]
