I think your way of looking this is illogical. To me it seems you have irrational bias against the GM being involved in the resolution. I am far more concerned with what actually happens rather than how we got there. And of course my character, whose viewpoint I try to inhabit for most of the game, wouldn't know either way. They do not know of camp event rolls or of GMs making decisions.And you can say "Aetherial Premonition affects the odds" but in long run, so does Alarm. What Alarm does it shuts down certain avenues of surprise. Now there might be situations where surprise comes from avenue not protected by it, but in good faith play obviously that is not always the case. Over the course of campaign you use Alarm many times in different situations. Most times the situation is such that it will protect you from ambushes, but sometimes situation might be such that it doesn't. But overall it reduced the cases of you being ambushed, just like Aetherial Premonition.</blockquote>
