[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8543403, member: 7032025"] Coming back to that point, because it's actually very much bizarre that you prefer [U]limiting your players' choices at start for their character[/U] than correctly applying the rules of the game as written ? Honestly, if a class has perception as a class skill, or a background, there is already good reason. Moreover, as the reverse of the Stormwind Fallacy, it's such a simple trick to justify a skill by inventing background that it would certainly hamper no one at all. Whereas, as a DM, I much prefer granting advantage or disadvantage (or even auto success/failure) depending on circumstances [U]exactly as indicated by the rules[/U], during play, including saying simply: "It's just a wolf, it's well trained, so if you ask him to stand watch, he will do so to the best of its abilities, but to the best of HIS abilities, NOT YOURS, although of course yours apply to, on their own.
