Discussion Request:

Pro's & Con's on showing the enemies' stats cards to players during the encounters.

Good Idea To Show? Or It's Worth The Suspense To Don't Show Until Discover?

Pro: Since we know instantly whether we hit or not, it would allow people who are interested in writing their own descriptive text to do so without ever having to worry about wasting it when they miss. 

Con:
Devalues Monster Knowledge checks. 

Side Note for DM Show
I wish to make a Monster Knowledge check on the plant creatures. Should I add it to my post or make a new one?

How about you reveal their defenses the first time they're hit, and their attacks as they use them? That way the monster knowledge checks are valuable and you retain the suspense, but we will still know (after the first hit) whether we hit or not right away.

@Calamity916: You may update your standard but the failed Perception 14 DC is official.

@theHumanHydra: That's what this discussion will decide and you just show a good reason for suspense.


@Everyone: The problem is there was already two high Perception DC and as those players gained L.O.S. (Line Of Sight) during the 1st Round, all the clues will be reveal to those players everything in the opening or if the players bold into the opening first (Move around the webbed tree or the enemy and I will get ugly fast,) instead of the safe approach like Buttercup in the treeline then the players can gain more clues and see farther into the treeline.

There's be combat, unavoidable, second round!

So would my best bet be to move to like.... F3? Then attack the 2 Goblins and Vine around C10 with Chill Wind, which would be an attack on all 3 of them, and then shift them all into the open and nearer to us? That would initiate the surprise round and such as well.

EDIT: I would most likely follow up in the next round with either another Chill Wind to control them, or drop Gigabufo near us. With luck, we could pull a mob at a time towards us and get us to single them out with Control spells instead of taking them all.

Then again, when do plans work. :P

EDIT2: Or should I just move to F3 and wait for my next turn to attack?

The suprise round must be annouced also!!
Yes, with a gamble you can attack without calling for a surprise round but the problem is if you attack before other players are ready; you can get jump by a bunch of enemies with an initiative higher than the next lowest number among your allies and lower than your's. This can hurt if you the closer to them and the only one out there. Get it!
So maybe playing this smart with readied actions that has triggers are best!

Ooops! I helping too much as the DM...

WILL SOMEONE ANSWER LAYASA!!
