[QUOTE="Cap'n Kobold, post: 8052864, member: 6802951"] Bit of an extreme accusation there. Its somewhat worse than ruling that casters get one less level 6 spell slot, but that also is quite withing a DM's purview to houserule. The OP asked how would other people rule, and asked for their thoughts. People telling the OP their thoughts on nerfing the ability [I][B]are[/B] [/I]the premise of the OP. Did you consider the fact that Reliable talent [I]currently mitigates disadvantage[/I], so part of the purpose of the rule might be to [I]help mitigate disadvantage[/I]? :unsure: That's kinda the point of being [I]reliable[/I]. The rogue doesn't have auto-success options like spells. They can't just decide to see through illusions and disguises, or transport themselves across the world, or fully heal someone on death's door. But even in the middle of foul weather or a raging battle, a rogue has a decent chance of spotting an ambush, climbing a tree, or stopping you from bleeding out. Its pretty much what the Rogue class does. The potential of a more severe nerf, does not mean that removing some of the functionality of a class' level 11 ability isn't a nerf. [/QUOTE]
