Quote:OoC Your game, but ?? That's not how hide is supposed to work. Hide in plain sight is for if I am in plain sight then try to hide. Hiding before he gets adjacent = still hidden otherwise no rogue could sneak attack EVER. If you have ever been on a sailing vessel you'll know there are ropes and rigging EVERYWHERE..
If he was already there when I hid that would make sense but if simply moving adjacent to a hidden person reveals them instantly, then Hide becomes simply useless. In this case it just changes the order of my actions and his save DC by a big 1 point
[OoC: To me, if the thing you're using to hide in or behind suddenly disappears or is no longer blocking line of site then you no longer can use it to hide behind. For example, you hide in a shadow and then someone points a flashlight where you're hiding. Do you suddenly become impervious to illumination. Or if you're hiding behind a door and your opponent opens the door, are you still hidden from him just because you succeeded on your hide roll? Another example, if someone is sneaking down an empty hallway and a guard walks around the corner how is he not going to see you?
In this case, the Mephit would have had to fly under any ropes to breath on the group. The railing or ropes no longer block line of site so you should now be visible. If you had hide in plain sight or if I had a box on the map that was between you and the mephit then that would be different. But Ning is still hidden from all the other Mephits.
All that said, I will look around to see if there are any rules that cover this. ]
