dungeon Masters don't mistake
0:02
proficiency for a lack of interest in
0:04
specific mechanics in the game things
0:07
like the log Rogue things like using a
0:09
10-ft pole to check for traps things
0:11
like that don't see those things and see
0:16
them as a signal that your players
0:18
aren't interested in specific parts of
0:20
the game such as traps if your players
0:23
are taking precautions if your players
0:26
are you know taking steps to protect
0:29
themselves to check for traps to use a
0:31
log Rogue rather than throwing a person
0:33
down a hallway to poke stuff with sticks
0:36
all of those things that shouldn't tell
0:39
you that your players don't care about
0:41
those things or don't want those things
0:43
in the game that should tell you that
0:45
your players expect those things to be
0:47
in the game and they want to be rewarded
0:50
for looking for those things if they're
0:53
throwing log Rogues down a hallway put a
0:56
trip wire there every once in a while
0:58
reward them for taking the steps reward
1:01
them for their understanding of the game
1:03
and the threats that the game can
1:05
present but at the same time also take
1:09
those things as a signal that your
1:11
players are ready for bigger challenges
1:14
if trip wires and mimic chests and
1:18
needles in door knobs are no longer a
1:20
threat to your party then it's time to
1:23
step up the challenge it's time to give
1:25
them something more interesting
1:28
proficiency should not be seen as
1:30
disinterest proficiency is a sign that
1:33
players are ready for a more difficult
1:35
more engaging level of play
