[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 9616676, member: 6785785"] How so? It seems to me that the spell always provides the benefit stated. I don't see how it can be nullified. Well, to this I would just say that I find the idea that such factors can be "learned and interacted with" to be pretty inconsistent in 5e. Theres so much that's up to the GM and how the Alarm spell works that it could very easily be bypassed, and there'd be no way to learn or interact with those factors because most likely the GM just decided them on the spot. There are literally no procedures guiding this process. At best, some are suggested. I would also add that the outcome in TB very clearly does not rely on pure chance. These two sentences conflict. What about the D&D process is not an abstraction? The DM imagining things is pretty abstract! [/QUOTE]
