If a rogue attacks an enemy when emerging from a cover source, does he still gain benefit of stealth in the attack?
@IanPlakiasIf a rogue attacks an enemy when emerging from a cover source, does he still gain benefit of stealth in the attack? Only if the rogue is still hidden when making the attack.

@socksieboy01FR Camp Guide for 4e stated it had been 100yrs since the last [iteration ie3/3.5e] can we expect something similar for 5e? Nope – timeline is not making a huge leap forward. The spell plague is over and the Sundering is at an end, but that's it.

@pointsevenoneWhy are monsters’ ranks called “CR” instead of “Level”? They mean the same thing, more or less, and level seems less “jargony”. we actually use CR in a slightly different way – goes below 1 and above 20, so not exactly how we use it with PCs

@pointsevenonehmm, fair enough. But monster Ability Scores can go <8 & >20 and are still called Ability Scores. Why not the same for levels? there are PC abilities that can push a score above 20, and rolling could give you a 3

@pointsevenone part of it is also how you use CR – a level 4 fighter NPC is not actually a level 4 opponent in terms of challenge

@pointsevenoneSorry to be pestering you about this. Started in 4e with XP budgets and trying to wrap my head around this CR thing. So CR represents a monster's power. You should avoid using monsters with a CR above the party's average level.

@pointsevenone the actual number you use is based on the total XP budget just like in 4e
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) August 9, 2014
@pointsevenone in 4e terms, mostly the same, but instead of using any critter keep yourself to critters with CR = or less than PC level

. @h347h1 Would using bracers of armor change the way you calculate AC or can they stack with unarmored defence? probably not stack – think of bracers and unarmored defense as establishing a base AC, like using natural OR manufactured armor

@Nalim_X @h347h1 @reddemon102005 Mike Mearls, could it be that you are still judging this by the Bracers’ outdated playtest description? might be – as I said, going by recall and not text

@DorianHartRogue Hides behind tree. Ogre can’t see him. Leans out, shoots ogre, returns. Advantage on attack? Sneak attack? Same next turn? I would say advantage on attack, disadvantage on check to hide again

@icosahedronIs there an official twitter account for rules questions? i'm kind of the closest thing for now

@jameseposeyCan dodging character with Sanctuary block chokepoint? Internet thinks it’s OP, debate is lively. http://tinyurl.com/n6b5s7q stuff like this is a big part of giving DMs tools to adjudicate and improvise – so many situational elements in an RPG

@mmaranda @Wizards_DnDwhat’s the story with the icon on the top left of each classes art panel? @mikemearls each class gets an icon. I think emi tanji designed them
