[QUOTE="buzz, post: 2877459, member: 6777"] It varies in my groups. There a hefty number of casual gamers in one of them, who both need help and often skip sessions, so everyone sees their sheets. OTOH, one of the players in the same group has been so secretive of his current character, that none of us are even sure what race and class he is. :) Personally, I think that everyone should have access to your sheet. D&D, in particular, depends so much on teamwork (both in-game and OOC), that I don't see what there is to gain by keeping the numbers secret. If anything, I think that having a context in which to view a fellow player's character can make the game that much more enjoyable. E.g., knowing for a fact that the barb has a lousy Diplomacy bonus makes seeing him hit a lucky roll and get the NPC to help the party all the more fun. [/QUOTE]
