I'll assume the former, in which case, that's your prerogative, but it's not metagaming to give out everyday information in D&D anymore than it is to tell people how many hp they lost when they just got hit.There's some crucial difference between an Ogre Thug and an Ogre Warhulk. You don't have to use the word "minion", but it's a pretty normal thing to expect there to be some way to tell them apart. It doesn't have to be that way, but there should likely be a good reason not to reveal it.That good reason could very well be 'My group has more fun this way'.KarinsDad thinks that way is 'badwrongfun', as amusing as it is, is not a valid reason <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I do wonder how many other people arguing the "never reveal it" standpoint also agree with the "badwrongfun" viewpoint.</blockquote>
