Creating a Diversion to Hide with Bluff


Classes: Bard, Monk, and Rogue


The rules for Stealth say you can create "a Diversion to Hide"

Creating a Diversion to Hide: You can use Bluff to allow
you to use Stealth. A successful Bluff check can give you
the momentary diversion you need to attempt a Stealth
check while people are aware of you.

This is NOT a fient. But there is no metion of this in the Bluff listing.

This needs clarification because we need to know what type action this kind of Bluff is. It only says "momentary diversion". Is it a full round, standard, move, or is it part of a move action. How does it work?

For now I'm going to play it like a "feint" so it would be a standard action, but is doesn't say that anywhere in the rules.

It could be a free action but you also have to take a move action to hide. And I doubt you could hide in the same spot you once were or need to move towards cover.

Exactly... This needs to be clarified.
