[QUOTE="kreynolds, post: 199464, member: 2829"] As described in the DMG, "metagaming" also happens when one or more of your players gains access to an Invisibility or Improved Invisibility magic item, yet nearly every single creature/enemy NPC they encounter has the ability to See Invisibile. That's also "metagaming". Basically, here's the short definition. 1) When a player jumps out of character to access outside knowledge for the express purpose of jumping back into said character that is not aware of said knowledge and the player intends to use said knowledge. (ok, maybe that definition sucked, but I did my best, and it was kinda fun too :)) 2) Any time the DM feels the need to be a total jackass and equip every single NPC with equipment to counter the players' equipment, or create/modify monsters with special abilities that counter the players' equipment. See? :) [/QUOTE]
