pathfinder unchained rogue with hide in plain sight and stealthy sniper


Rules Questions


with the new version of the rogue from pathfinder unchained, I have a combo that I have a question on:

level 12 rogue, with:
terrain mastery
minor magic: acid splash
hide in plain sight
stealthy sniper

skill unlock: stealth skill

with this setup, does it mean that if the rogue who is standing 10-30 feet away from the target, in the terrain where he has terrain mastery, without cover/concealment, under observation, can start stealth as a free action, snipe with acid splash using a standard action, possibly dealing sneak attack damage, and finish it off with another stealth check (using a move action) to hide again without any penalties? And the rogue can keep doing it until he is detected by some means?

and the target has no way of ever seeing the rogue unless the target can beat the rogue's 0 penalty stealth roll with a perception roll or with tremorsense?

as it is written, the spell: true seeing, see invisibility, and invisibility purge doesn't help spotting creatures in "hiding".

as it is written, blindsight/blindsense doesn't help spotting creatures in "hiding" (note, the rogue version of the hide in plain sight doesn't need cover/concealment to work)


I don't have Unchained yet. But can't Halfling with Swift as Shadow trait can always do this?

You are going to need to quote relevant rules text.

I think you are right!!!

so the halfling version of the rogue can try to pull it off at level 5.... with cover/concealment

and level 10 with the added hide in plain sight advance rogue talent, without the need for any cover/concealment...

Hey guys! We love that you're discussing Unchained, and please continue to do so, but we ask that you don't copy/paste the actual rules text here...at least not just yet. Soon!
