Hidden

You are considered hidden from an opponent when it is either unaware of you, or you are actively trying to hide from the opponent and it is unable to perceive you. If the opponent is aware of you, then to gain and maintain Hidden status, you must make successful Stealth checks against your opponent's Awareness and maintain Superior Concealment against your opponent. (see Stealth for more details)

While Hidden from an opponent, it grants you Advantage. Additionally, an opponent cannot target you with attacks if you are Hidden from it, except to make a Wild Swing (and you may be subject to attacks that target an Area).

If you choose to take an action without utilizing the Stealthy Action ability, your Hidden status immediately ends (though you may still maintain some sort of Concealment). Some actions cause you to automatically fail your Stealth check, therefore ending your Hidden status, unless you utilize special powers or abilities to mitigate that failure.

Additionally, at any point while you are Hidden, an opponent who is aware of you may make a Sensory Skill check versus your Stealth to attempt to discern your location (see Locating Creatures with Concealment for more information). If the creature is able to discern your location, you are typically still considered to have Concealment against the creature, which puts the opponent at a penalty to its attack roll.

  • You gain one Advantage on your opponent (this is in addition to the Advantage you may have from Concealment).
  • Your opponent cannot target you except with a Wild Swing, unless it first discerns your location by making a Sensory Skill check. If the opponent discerns your location, it is still subject to penalties to the attack due to your Concealment.
