For example if their plan requires only one entrance they find one with just one entrance or block other entrances. Or again, if they don't, and leave other entrances open, then that matters, because the fiction matters and the choices matter! Like I get that not everyone cares for that level of detail. Perhaps you just want to have trap setting roll, and what the characters actually exactly do is mere flavour. But I think it is pretty clear that in doing it that way something rather significant is also lost. And it is fine to do some simplifications in some areas of the game, those you don't want to spend that much time of thought on. But if you did it on all areas, then that would become a very dull game, at least to me.Is this something that is actually happened in game? Like perhaps just go read the book in a reading hall with a few metres of visibility and save the spell? I mean it is pretty useless. The alarm covers just a few metres. If the potential enemy can come from any direction, then that is not great. But I'm not against randomising some things. If you cover a tiny area we certainly can randomise whether the enemy happens to come from that direction unless there is some particularly compelling reason for assuming a specific direction. What I don't want to randomise is what the whole situation. Like if the PCs take steps to secure a place where the spell actually blocks the only entrance rather than just plopping it in middle of the empty field and hoping for the best I want it to matter. I want the situation and choices of the PCs to matter. </blockquote>
