I cannot wait to see 5E24s take on the invisible stalker.

This awkward rule reeks of being the pet preference of someone who is either not subject to being questioned or someone who is utterly exhausting to argue with. There's no way the entire team is simultaneously unaware that this would create years of forum arguments.

Interesting that they don't specify "willing"...

The Invisibility spell may have a secondary effect in addition to the Invisible condition, in the sense that you can have a ball of fire that is different than the Fireball spell. But this is the invisible condition regardless, per the first post: "Invisible Condition: While you have the...

The bottom line is that the term "invisible" in 5E does not match the basic English standard understanding of the word. It's more of a metaphorical usage. "He sat alone at lunch among the jocks and cheerleaders, and was invisible."

Based on previous context, 5E's concept of Invisible is less Invisible Woman and more Glass Frog.

Official/League/Whatever play and playing under multiple tables make good clear rules important regardless of your comfort in paying for bad rules.

In the US, we do not "spread the word" enough to fill the industry. There are six digits of software testers in the US alone, and there are not enough words or mouths to cover them all. I will not claim your local industry works this way, but as was stated earlier, all you get here is start and...

How many amazing QA testers do you talk up to people outside of your company per month? Managers in the same company may share that kind of information, as will people who are bringing people over from a previous gig, but that's just keeping people in an existing small circle, not an initial...

Again, not scalable. I know people who are among the best in their field, but you're not going to know about them unless you've worked with them.

The topic is credits. Credits are used to demonstrate your skills.

I work in Seattle, I assure you I know how tech teams work. There are basics of being respectful human beings, but social skills do not trump technical ones outside of management. Whatever your experience is is not universal and does not negate the value of getting credit. Word of mouth does not...

I have personally observed this on a regular basis. That you haven't may be because of quirks of your local industry.

This is extremely hard to maintain at a global scale and mostly just turns into hiring people who are social instead of people who are skilled. A lot of the most valuable people hate socializing.

Word of mouth is really easy using credits.

My whole career is correcting the results of successful interviewees without the skills to back up the enthusiasm. :p A lot of very poor interviewees are also amazing at tasks. As such, companies frequently lean more on proof and less on persuasion. There's a lot of gray area, as neither method...

And then, bringing it back to RPGs, you have the great Gygax vs. Arneson debate, which is still burning in other threads.

We have whole sections of law devoted to proving that X person did Y thing or came up with Z idea. The true creator of various comic book characters has been a heated debate longer than most of us have been alive. Credit matters.

Having no other information, I would expect it was so they could maintain power and leverage, as with Atari.

I don't know why you'd read antagonism into basic questions. I am a very spicy person when riled up, I assure you this is not that. :p Why did the owner not want to give credit?
