Hide is an Action that allows the user to conceal their location.
Description
Try to conceal yourself.
Hiding depends on your Stealth and whether you are Obscured. Attacking or casting spells reveals your location.
Properties
Action
- Attempt to hide from view.
Notes
- In Early Access patch 9, Hide was a Bonus Action, but it was changed to an Action in the full release of the game. However, the Way of Shadow Way of Shadow Monk and Rogue (sub-)classes are still expected to be able to Hide as a Bonus Action via (sub-)class features.
- Using the Hide ability while standing nearby and within line of sight of any creature (aside from party members and minions) causes the Hide attempt to immediately fail with no roll.
- While hidden, if a creature enters line of sight of an enemy creature, they must immediately roll a Stealth check against the enemy creature's Passive Perception.
- Lines of sight ('vision cones') of nearby enemies and other NPCs can be viewed by holding the Show Sneak Cones key (Default hotkey: Left Shift).
- Lines of sight can be manipulated to create an opening for a pickpocketing or ambush attempt by creating a distraction, such as casting the
Minor Illusion cantrip.
