Message: <blockquote data-quote="James Gasik" data-source="post: 9557961" data-attributes="member: 6877472">Their line of logic kind of went like this:1 person watching- 1 person's Perception is being used.2 people watching- 2 person's Perception is being used.Where they balked was the idea that two watchmen could Help each other, boosting each other's Perception (advantage and +5 passive), which was somehow better than having a third watchman on duty.I don't personally worry about things like this too much (though there is the occasional oddity like trying to Help someone else's Stealth check), but it's a common belief that rules < the game world making logical sense, which is the whole reason I brought this up.There's also a lot of DM's who feel the Help action is abuseable (google 5e Help action and the second post leads to a discussion about how it should be limited), but then again, these are generally the same people who have an issue with Guidance being used liberally- which is, like you said, a whole different discussion.</blockquote>
