I think the possibility of failure in out-of-combat spellcasting is good game design, and I think keeping some information hidden can be fun for everyone.In combats, I put marker-rings on the battlemat, around things that have effects on them; the players (and therefore the PCs) always know which opponents are stunned or charmed or slowed or whatever. Makes it easier for everyone.I don't think these are mutually exclusive positions. I don't even think they're inconsistent. I think context matters, in both instances.</blockquote>
