My feeling is that the answer is yes, but I want to check we're on the same page.And then a question about your method as GM: are you saying that you approach 5e D&D as a "no myth" game - ie there is no unrevealed backstory that is drawn on as a factor in action resolution? At the risk of stirring the pot, I'm going to mention [USER=16814]@Ovinomancer[/USER] who has strong views on the feasibility of that - I'm not trying to set up any sort of cage match, but am interested in hearing thoughtful posters talk about the range of feasible approaches with the world's most popular RPG.</blockquote>
