[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8160754, member: 93670"] The videos talk about the system forcing one choice and giving the [U][I]"illusion of choice"[/I][/U] & I already said that it wasn' you saying badwrongfun so much as pointing to the boundaries of goodrightfun the system defines to put everything else in the badwrongfun bucket that the system pretends you are just as free to do as the narrow scope of goodrightfun even though that badwrongfun is heavily discouraged with layers of rules/powers deigned to thwart it or a complete void of realistically viable components needed to do that... sure you can do it some other way, buuut.... the videos go into it nicely. Take those winding corridors you mentioned, not only are they out of place in nearly any manmade structure but they also tend to be lacking in places like castles even if you limit your scope to just 5e stuff. Even if you say for the sake of argument that winding corridors or some analog are common it makes the decision to present 150/600 ft longbows with a feat that makes them 600ftlongbows that ignore half & three quarters cover all the more mindboggling simply because the assumption at that point is that such a situation should almost never happen but now the monsters involved are sure to be thwarted by the system itself if someone does take that illusory path without contrivances like lots of total cover or excessive use of things like the [URL='https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/darkness']darkness[/URL] spell that only truesight & devils sight can see in.
