I'm responding to those saying that DMs shouldn't have to ALWAYS agree that those features are always True all of the time. I was saying that I never just negate the effect, I turn them into an interesting twist or adventure hook (for those times when the Sage can't just auto find the Big Secret of the campaign, or the Criminal arriving in a foreign city can't just auto find contacts even if they haven't ever been there before, or the Folk Hero is in a village that is immensely fearful and distrustful of outsiders etc...)edit: in the revised 2024 edition, there are no features like these anyway, so all of this is just theoretical now, as I probably won't use those features any longer.</blockquote>
