[QUOTE="Springheel, post: 7034935, member: 6828720"] According to the PH: "When a creature can’t see you, you have advantage on attack rolls against it." "In combat, most creatures stay alert for signs of danger all around, so if you come out of hiding and approach a creature, it usually sees you." What about out of combat? Situation 1: A rogue makes a successful stealth check and sneaks up behind a bored guard. I assume they are considered "unseen" and attack with advantage (and the guard is surprised). Situation 2: A character in a busy crowd walks up behind a bored guard and attacks (no stealth check). Is he considered unseen? Situation 3: A Warlock with Mask of Many Faces makes himself look like a friendly NPC, walks up to a bored guard, passes behind him, and then attacks the guard from behind. Is the Warlock unseen? Obviously it's a DM call, but I'm curious how people here would rule. [/QUOTE]
