The way that stealth ends in #dnd got clarified in errata, fortunately. The original text was pretty rough, and I still think it needs work. #dnd5e #2024dnd #ttrpg #dungeonsanddragons

this comment is a follow-up question on
0:02
my video about stealth mechanics in the
0:04
2024 D and D rules And honestly it's a
0:07
good follow-up question because the
0:09
stealth rules are clear as mud Wizards
0:11
of the Coast had to issue a rata pretty
0:13
quickly after release to correct some
0:16
pretty glaring issues in the stealth
0:18
rules Most importantly clarifying when
0:20
and how being hidden ends So the rules
0:24
glossery says that the condition ends on
0:27
you Like it didn't say on you previously
0:29
It just said it ended but now it says
0:31
the condition ends on you if you make a
0:32
sound louder than a whisper if an enemy
0:35
finds you if you make an attack roll or
0:37
if you cast a spell with a verbal
0:39
component Like those four things are
0:41
very clear And it now also specifies
0:43
that when you are no longer hidden you
0:45
lose the invisible condition But that
0:48
was added in
0:49
Arata rules as written in the original
0:52
text Even if you were found you remained
0:55
permanently invisible So the entire
0:57
world was just everyone who had crouched
0:59
down between behind something once in
1:01
their lives being permanently invisible
1:04
which is obviously pretty ridiculous and
1:06
clearly not how it was intended to work
1:08
but rules as written that is what
1:09
happened So the updated text now
1:12
clarifies if you're hidden make a sound
1:14
louder than a whisper make an attack
1:16
roll or cast a spell with a verbal
1:18
component Any of those four things will
1:21
end the hidden status ends the invisible
1:24
condition The difficult part is how
1:26
creatures find you And typically it's by
1:28
making a perception check against your
1:31
stealth check And but creatures might
1:33
also find you by removing cover or
1:36
concealment So if you've taken cover
1:38
behind a wall and you hide there if a
1:41
creature walks around that wall and you
1:43
no longer have any sort of cover they
1:44
find you automatically Or at least
1:46
that's how I always rule things because
1:48
again if you don't have cover to that
1:50
creature you no longer qualify to hide
