It's about playing the fiction - even if the players fail to second-guess the GM and hence suffer an attack from ear-seekers, they can come up with the idea of ear trumpets with wire that ear-seekers can't get through.I think that playing the fiction is pretty central. Of course mechanics inform this (in all sorts of ad hoc ways, in classic D&D) but skilled play in the Gygaxian sense doesn't involve things like clever exploitation of the action economy. But it could include using the up/down feature of a cube of force to good effect!</blockquote>
