I basically agree I think, or at least agree to within normal-group-variance. Which is to say, at least with my friends, is someone said “I want to roll stealth to steal the lizard,” the DM would probably say something along the lines of “it’ll be more complicated than a single roll, you’ll have to get in there, get the thing free, there might be unforeseen problems (it is a barely tamed lizard monster after all).” I think we would probably not need to be warned in the first place and would go right into planning the heist anyway, because who doesn’t love a heist?

I think the specific thing I didn’t like in this example was the presentation of a specific path to the player. Although taking a second look, it seems the autoDM just presented it as a potential path, so maybe it isn’t so bad.
