Your experiences are vastly different from mine. I mean, how many different (AD&D 1e) ways are there to determine whether someone snuck up on somebody else (don't forget surprise rolls)? Even which dice are rolled can depend on things like race, class, environment, etc. I'm not entirely sure what all you have to (or get to) roll if you're an Elf Thief in the Woods wearing leather next to a Halfling in the dark. Neither do I. The problem here is that different folks have different goals. You will have some kind of rules for it hardwired in, even if they are informal. Heck, 1e has stronger scene-typing than 3e. I certainly don't see why it would be bad for the rules to address how the game is designed to be played.Having re-read these last few posts, I must say that I still feel like I'm not quite sure what you're reacting to.</blockquote>
