And my rules questions arises from the "Surviving level 1" thread in Player Help.   It seems that PC/npcs cannot hide in combat and be able to attack any target at the same time: If I can see you, can can see me, erego I cannot be hidden from you, ergo You cannot be hidden and attack a target. It would seem only halflings and wood elf can hide in combat. That seems silly to basically restrict rogue to those two races. It would seem getting a bonus action to hide is basically a wasted feature.
