[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 3222412, member: 22622"] This is normallly not by choice. As a matter of fact, the trap incident is one of the only time where the environment caused him not to be present. He is usually voluntarily studying ap revious room or requests to remain behind to study ruins and such. (this is a useful use of his knowledge skills) I was like this last year, but this year I had a really solid group and could trust them to not overpower anything. Two of those group members had to move swiftely in september and i quickly recruited to avoid the game disrupting. I just felt myself keeping track of too much and wanted to show some more trust in my players. My interpretation of knowledge is that you either know it or you don't, and not a remember check. Now, I'd go along with the check if he had sufficient information, but reading a poem o n a wall or a column does not constitute a reroll of the check. Maybe he is bored, but if he is he sure has a habit of attempting to take over games. I try to create a spot like moment for each player every game and he's had his share. I've even increased the number of undead in the campaign world to accomodate the necromancer he's playing. Maybe he is bored . I dont know. THe last three games I have caught him sleeping. I hadn't talked to him about it, it seemed like a medical condition. He was rolling and active one moment and he just nodded off within 2 minutes. Maybe I'll ask him if he's bored. [/QUOTE]
