 ===== Equipment Purchases =====
 Please feel free to purchase any non-magical equipment found in the 2024 Player's Handbook you want between game sessions. For simplicity, we assume that any user of a spell that requires consumption of components has stocked them in advance, and will instead charge after for the use of said components.
+===== Hiding & Invisibility =====
+Dungeon Masters will ask that their tables just use common sense with respect to Hiding and Invisibility in the D&D 2024 rules. If this becomes an issue in the future, [[https://thealexandrian.net/wordpress/52099/roleplaying-games/dd-2024-hiding-invisibility|the house rules found on the Alexandrian]] are designed to slot into the existing D&D 2024 rules as cleanly as possible, while being built around a simple mental-mechanical model in which characters are either hidden, pinpointed, or not hidden.
