How does stealth work DND 5e?
As a hide action in combat, or any time you attempt to hide, you make a Dexterity (Stealth) check and write down that number. As long as you remain in hiding, if any creature has a chance to detect your presence, their Passive Wisdom (Perception) score must beat your stealth check.
Does attacking break stealth 5e?

Attacking while hidden gives away its location, but it doesn’t make it visible. When you attack a target that you can’t see, you have disadvantage on the attack roll.
How does stealth work with Invisibility?

Can Truesight see Invisibility?
