The scene is a large warehouse with shelving that reaches to the ceiling. There are at least 5 shelves that run across the entire warehouse, with 15-feet walkways in between each pair. The shelves are filled with crates and barrels, and you can easily walk between the crates in the bottom shelves, especially as a small rogue.
My party is fighting a group of bandits, we outnumber them by one. Each one of my allies is fighting one bandit, leaving me free to maneuver around the battlefield. I want to move between the crates of the bottom shelf and accross the walk way, constantly ending my turn hidden as to gain advantage on the ranged attack on my turn. Can you help narrate and rule this scenario for me. I think this is the best way for me to wrap my head around stealth; by doing it step by step as if it were happening in a session.
Lighting shouldn't matter, since I know it would simply decide whether the enemy takes a -5 penalty to his passive perception or not.
Is it as simply as saying "If you are out of sight, roll stealth against enemy passive perception" and "If you are kindasorta out of sight, but not completely, you can't roll stealth"
What if one of the bandits breaks free? What are his options, apart from readying an attack to shoot when he sees me or walking right up to me? Is there any way he can discern my location on his turn?
Can anyone help me out here?
