It is just that in D&D bypassing relies on fictional positioning, such as number of entrances and the capabilities of the enemy. Personally I find a game where such things matter and can be learned and interacted with far more satisfying than one where they're handwaved away and outcomes rely on pure chance.It is jerk move to contrive reason to bypass the Alarm. It is perfectly fine for alarm to be bypassed in (rare) situation where the situation in the fictional reality logically produced such a result. TB system does away with both. And as we don't play with jerks, the former was not problem in the first place, so you only eliminated the latter which a lot of people see as a feature. Like I don't even hate TB approach. It is fine. It is an abstraction so that you don't have to mind certain details. It is just a matter of taste whether you found minding those details to be interesting or not in the first place. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🤷" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f937.png" title="Person shrugging    :person_shrugging:" data-shortname=":person_shrugging:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /></blockquote>
