Sneak is considered to be either unseen or unheard, allows movement. Hide is both, and seems to assume you are somewhere motionless. So a creature with blindsight or scent could easily find you. When I asked why hide from the blind? I meant that in the darkness they already can't see you, a sneak (move silently to be unheard as well) beats hiding as it also allows movement, guessing where you are gets harder if you can change locations. | |

| May 16, 2017 at 7:48 | comment | added | Piero | could you point me where are the rule references you are using? both for hide and targeting while blinded by a heavily obscure area. If what you say is backed up somehow in the rules, it really would change my concept of the stealth skill and further diminish my concept of magical darkness | |
| May 16, 2017 at 5:08 | comment | added | Dale M | @PieroManavella Hiding means that not only can't they see you, they can't hear, smell, feel or taste you. Unless you are Hide, no one guesses your location - they know where you are even if they can't see you. | |
| May 16, 2017 at 4:35 | comment | added | Piero | but why hide from the blind? maybe by hiding you mean the older editions "move silently" now conveniently grouped with actual hiding under stealth skill, but again why do it if they already have to guess your location? as you pointed out. Thats one question i had to remove, as it was correctly pointed out to me that it refers to targeting and not the canceling out part, but its all wrapped up when you are behind your screen and people on the other side rely on you to bring to life the setting where they will be able to build an epic story, god i love this game | |
