[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 6233756, member: 5143"] Technically, nothing in the rest of the world does exist unless the DM wants it to. If the DM doesn't want it to, then the secret door and what lies behind it might be everything. It certainly matters if you care about mysteries. It's very unfulfilling for a lot of people to find out that this dungeon was the final resting place of an ancient warrior and find pieces of his legendary sword only to come up with 9 out of the 10 pieces simply because you didn't find a secret door. That's the kind of thing that would cause people to dedicate their entire life to searching that dungeon for the last piece and ignoring the rest of the world. That's only better if you actually make them better than a fighter. That's not a requirement. They can do extra damage because they have "sneak attack" without making it so the extra damage makes them do more than fighters. Either way, getting better at surviving IS an advantage. A really good advantage. I'd say the value of doing slightly more damage in exchange for dying much easier is a valid one. [/QUOTE]
