[QUOTE="Gorgon Zee, post: 8224770, member: 75787"] I don't think it's mentioned because it's always in effect and GMs are expected to use it. I've played quite a few adventures and APs and it's always been a factor. In online convention play. most GMs will ask early on what mode people are using and then use that as we move along through play. It's especially important for stealth; starting a combat unobserved is very nice for squishy their types. My fighter typically walks around with shield raised, as his other skills are pretty lame. Having a wizard continuously checking for magic on the path we are walking is also STRONGLY recommended, if at all possible! In my home game, I have an investigator with a fantastic perception, and making sure I am looking around carefully has saved us from a number of traps / ropers / sneaky types. I don't think many modules specifically mention exploration-related activities -- it's just a normal part of the game. When you are exploring, the GM should consider what the players are doing whenever anything interesting happens. At least, that's the impression I have from how the GMs have been running. [/QUOTE]
