[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 7050188, member: 42582"] Maybe, maybe not. But presumably the rogue is just as keen to avoid the gaze of the paladin if they're sleeping in bedrolls around a fire rather than bunked down in a LTH. So I still don't see that you're worse off having a LTH you have to step out of, rather than a circle of bedrolls you have to step away from. And it would seem slightly weird to me if [I]no PC ever got ambushed while going to the toilet[/I] until they did so having stepped out of a LTH. Where did the toilet-haunting monsters suddenly spring from? I'll add: the [I]only[/I] reference to PC toileting practices that I'm aware of in any D&D book comes from Gygax in his DMG, under the heading "Factors Contributing To Surprise" (p 62): [indent]When one side or another is surprised, this general term can represent a number of possible circumstances. In the first place it simply represents actual surprise - that is, the opponent was unprepared for the appearance/attack. The reason for this could be eating, sleeping, waste elimination, attention elsewhere, no weapon ready, etc. While each possible cause of surprise could be detailed, with a matrix and factors of time for recovery from the condition calculated to a nicety, the overall result would not materially add to the game - in fact, the undue complication would detract from the smooth flow of play.[/indent] It sounds like LTH makes the mooted matrix more important, though: if a monster gets surprise against the inhabitants of a LTH, we need to know whether or not the reason is "waste elimination", because we need to know whether or not the surprised PC is inside or outside the hut!
