Same if I’m taking expertise in perception - its because I want to be a hawkeye who spots details others miss. A DM who determines my Perception ability means “this guy has really good perception so doesnt want me to add anything to the game for him to find’ has entirely over ridden player agency and made the game worse.</blockquote>
