[QUOTE="Obryn, post: 4523779, member: 11821"] YES. I am really enjoying reading through my 1e DMG, but holy cow; Gary doesn't so much [I]teach [/I]you the rules, as lecture about the rules and tell you anecdotes about them. Then you need to figure them out from context. And the organization is seemingly stream-of-consciousness. :) SPEAKING OF... I'm unclear, still, on surprise. I get what happens if two groups meet unexpectedly. I get what happens when one group knows the other is there, but not vice-versa. But... what about ambush situations? Like "My thief just successfully snuck up on that guard"? Would I still roll for surprise, or is it just kind of automatic? Thanks :) -O [/QUOTE]
