So let me see if I got this right.

Case 1:
Creature A is in a heavily obscured area, Creature B is in a heavily obscured area.

A is "blinded" if he targets B, and so is B.

If A attacks B, he rolls 1 dice(Both of them are "blinded", so advantage and disadvantage ends in a normal roll)

A can roll stealth and become "hidden" from B, as long as A stay's in the area, and B has no darkvision


Case 2:
Creature A is in a heavily obscured area, Creature B is in non obscured Area.

IF A attacks B, he has advantage, because B is "blinded" when defending from A

IF B attacks A, he has disadvantage, because B is "blinded" when attacking  A

A can roll stealth and become "hidden" from B, as long as A stay's in the area, and B has no darkvision

That all sounds right to me. In either case, A and B can't see each other (barring some additional effect).

Just a quick couple of notes.  Darkvision may or may not affect what you can see.  Heavy fog for example could grant heavy obscurement and having darkvision wouldn't change anything.

 

In addition, case 2 is going be rare unless one creature has darkvision, blindsight or some other special senses.  So if creature A is heavily obscured in darkness and creature B has darkvision, you are correct.  If creature A is heavily obscured in a heavy fog, I would rule that creature B still can't see them unless they have blindsight, tremorsense or similar.

He's obviously taking about darkness if he's bringing up darkvision...

Yeah, I don't think the thread was meant to mean something outside of vision and light/darkness.  Plus the examples given..  

 

@Lawrencehoy

 

Why did you bring back a thread that's been answered just to tell someone to "read the op again"?  Seems like it was just to start a flame war.  You should try not to do that since it's such a big problem on this forum and doesn't do anything good.  I hope Noctaem doesn't post because all that's going to do is start another 4 page flame thread.
