Re: Overquest - What if the good guys had already lost?
Well the opposite is that nobody can sneak through a camp because someone will always see/hear you. An assassin can never slip poison in a drink in a crowded court cus someone will always see them do it. A sniper can't set up because someone will always see their position. Before they fire I mean.
You can't pickpocket in a crowd, someone always sees you. You do stage magic, someone always sees the trick. And so on.
It's especially unfair for pcs cus dms will usually handwave if it suits their plots, but pcs don't automatically get to have that pass. I wouldn't expect a dm to roll for every plot point they wanna set up in advance but they also should try to weigh it fairly then.
Plus it favors spellcasters more since they often don't need to make skillchecks to get the same results. They just do a spell and skip the need.
