[QUOTE="Norton, post: 8354464, member: 7031494"] My entire position has been with certain player behaviors and [I]how a certain race attracts that kind of player[/I]. By all means scout ahead, just not for everything at every turn, keeping other plays sitting idly by, and fully expect a detailed blueprint of everything ahead of the other players. I am not making an argument against scouting, I'm making an argument against being annoying. And yes, adding terrain and the like can keep flyers under wraps but it breaks immersion if you have to keep pointing out a new obstacle and everyone knows why you're doing it. Again, it refers to the power gaming problem. I would rather avoid the issue entirely in the future by maintaining the race as a monster only. I could be wrong, but it's rare in that regard. I'm not saying it's the only race that is also a monster, but it's rare and I think for a reason. And I'm not making it my business to tell anyone how to play anything, but if you're going to pick an Aarakocra as your character, I'm now instantly suspicious of you because of the kind of player in my experience that picks them. That flying is free for them is beautiful, but I prefer flying cost something in order to keep the above described behavior to a minimum.
