This doesn't seem like a problem, if his character has an idea what the other character could do, why is this not something that someone would be able to communicate?Well, your first problem here is allowing a feat you apparently didn't research yourself first. Blame yourself for that, not him. Assuming that the feat is kosher, and allowable, my response is, once again - and . . . ? So he's good at knowing things. Why is this a problem? More to the point, why is this metagaming?Okay. Where is the metagaming here? His character has a theory. He has failed a roll in the past, but he has gotten new information since then. he wants to use his knowledge skill along with the new information. I still don't see metagaming in your example.Well, first of all, I'm not sure what you mean by "ask them for those instances".Second, he's not actually doing any harm here, unless they pay attention to him. If the monsters don't react the way he thinks they should, that's his problem, not yours. If you just ignored his whispering, and didn't worry about the misinformation, then the problem would stop by itself from lack of results. He's really only causing himself problems here, assuming the rest of the party knows enough to ignore him.At that point make him roll knowledge rolls to see if he does. That cures the problem right there.These are easily ignored, or answered by a "you don't know" (as in "what class is X player playing" is easy to answer with "you don't know, he doesn't have it stamped on his forehead", and so on).These problems are likely to self-correct quickly. Just ignore them. Stop drawing attention to them. He will lose interest in asking and getting no answer, or answers devoid of information. He will stop trying to pass on creature stats when it turns out not to work. And so on.</blockquote>
