The skill power Nature Sense from PHB3 says that the power is triggered when "You would roll initiative in a natural environment."
So what constitutes a 'natural' environment?
If you are in a natural cavern that has had it floor, stalagmites removed and leveled out, is it still a natural environment? How about if a stone wall is constructed across it?
This came up when the party ranger was looking at powers and the provoked a discussion within the group. The GM was thinking of a '3-sides of the cube' approach, that is if 3 of the 6 faces of the 'cube' that is a character are natural, then the power works. In the above scenarios, Nature sense would work because only 2 of the 6 'sides' (floor and one wall) are worked, the other 4 are natural.
Please answer the poll and and post if you have any suggestions for how this has been handled in your groups.
