Some creatures with different senses such as blindsight may follow different rules.

* There is an [[Inspiration|inspiration]] system. As a party you can have up to 4 inspiration dice which can be applied to a failed skill check. The way you gain dice is based on the [[Backgrounds|background]] of you and your companions. If for example you or one of your companions have the Charlatan background, they may gain an inspiration die for your party if they deceive their way into a fortified enemy position.
