[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 7218773, member: 2525"] This is complete nonsense. There is no difference between hiding and stealthing. It's the same thing. The DM decides if you can hide. Those are his actual words. There is no rules support or support for you claim in the podcast that these are separate things in this version of the game. They are not. If you think there is, let's see some quotes from that podcast that differentiates between the two concepts. Jeremy Crawford uses both words interchangeably constantly. If you try to hide in thick fog, make a stealth check. If you try to hide behind a pillar, make a stealth check. If you try to sneak past the guards, make a stealth check. If you do any of these things in or out of combat it does not matter. It's all governed by the stealth rules - there is no separate set of rules for hiding that isn't stealth. It's all stealth. And the DM decides when circumstances are appropriate for hiding (stealth). And before we go much further, I am fine copying and pasting your post to Crawford in twitter and asking him directly if you are right or wrong. I am only tempted to do that because you had the chutzpah to tell someone if they disagree with your view of this they're not playing 5e D&D. So you might want to be sure you're right before we go down that rapidly approaching point of no return :) [/QUOTE]
