[QUOTE="Akaiku, post: 4725525, member: 82224"] The you be bad off ones: "Ooo... Another crit..." followed by"What was your max hp again?" This is sometimes followed by "Good thing you found all those diamonds" "What was your perception again?" (averted with 4th ed's passive perception) "The (watzit) sees you and attacks, what's your spell resistance?" (high stealth, invisible, walking through a wall, STILL SPOTTED. Curse you true seeing devils! 3rd ed btw) "Wait, you drank it?" "How many healing potions/surges do you still have?" "Alright, who has stealth" crickets chirp. "Do you chase after him?" The metagamey: "It looks like a (wazit) except with (horrible doom description)" "Are you sure you want to?" (over abused and really, I find it much better to always answer no and then constantly be indecisive till the gm is sick of that game.) "So, did you sleep in your armor this time?" (In 4th ed, the answer is always yes unless it's just plain stupid that my character would have) "You are just walking into town?" or any of the long string of "So you are acting normally in a normal seeming situation?" "You look at it?" (hard to not unless you are prepaired for that being a bad thing) And finally the planning phase ones: conservation of detail means that unless this plan is flawless, the weakness is going to be exploited by the encounter that jumps you. "Ok, who's sleeping where?" "What is the sleeping shifts?" "Marching order?" "So you left your stuff in the other room when you went to the baths?" "Well, you have a knife, don't you?" .... Geez, I'm over paranoid huh? Ah well... [/QUOTE]
