[QUOTE="iserith, post: 7758590, member: 97077"] It strikes me as making something simple more complicated than it needs to be for absolutely no benefit and possibly to some detriment. Which strikes me as a kludge to fix something that went awry which you could have avoided in the first place. You don't even need to decide which PC notices it. You can just describe it in the environment. If the PCs investigate it further, great. If they don't, no big deal. I mean, you don't [I]need[/I] for them to succeed, right? "So what?" you said. As for what is and isn't "realistic," I find that people can be oddly choosy about what they consider realistic in their games about elves and dragons. It doesn't hold up to very much scrutiny. [I]With[/I] examples, discussions often become muddled and full of goalpost-moving until it loses the thread. [/QUOTE]
