Talk:Hail Mary (5e Feat)

Adjusted wording of minimum to normal range for clarity. I can adjust the wording more, to limit the fact you check each turn to the first time you make an attack against such a target, but the intent of this isn't simply to effect an invisible foe. Creatures that use the hide action during combat behind an obstacle, a creature moving in darkness that you saw enter it, a creature you know is there, but simply cannot see. Unsure how I could make that clearer for you. Rewording option to reduce the continual rolling on a turn: The first time on your turn that you make a ranged attack roll against a target you cannot see but are aware of, you can make a Wisdom (Perception) check against the target (DC = targets Dexterity (Stealth) check if actively hiding, or passive Dexterity (Stealth) score if not) to maintain your accuracy by sound alone. On a success, your inability to see the target doesn't impose disadvantage on your attack rolls against it. You cannot use this ability whilst deafened.--Kahz (talk) 13:24, 15 June 2016 (MDT)

Thanks for looking at this. If you are sticking with a roll, then it's going to be a contested check rather than against a DC (that's largely a matter of wording). But using your Perception to find a creature you can't see is something anyone can do anyway, or at least falls under the "DM adjudication" commentary of the Unearthed Arcana article. Two possible variations: You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks to locate a creature you cannot see (but that doesn't have much to do with throwing weapons); or you do not suffer disadvantage on attack rolls made with ranged weapons against a creature you cannot see, if you have determined its location.
