Whether the DM felt one day that the DC is 20 while its a DC 25 on another day still doesn't stop the fact that a +13 is always mathematically better than +3. The phenomenon you're describing is that a DM doesn't choose a DC and merely decides if you pass or fail after you roll which isn't fair because that means your dice roll never mattered to begin with and he's purposefully screwing with you by asking you to roll. Cool. And this is why Rangers have been given more spells. There are clearly terrain in the other planes of existence. So long as what the Ranger does is about or in these planes, they get their bonus. The missing word is prep. The game expects the DM to at least have a map of the environment and have it be reasonable. They also expect the DM to have their lore in order, whether homebrew or official. If a DM doesn't know what's in his areas or why they're there, of course the players will struggle when they ask. Is it not the same when a DM decides they'll just "wing" a combat encounter without a statblock?</blockquote>
