(for that matter I don't see anything wrong with saying that to the player, as opposed to the character), or suggesting that the fighter attack and mark this guy instead of that guy.  I would consider that to be good tactics, actually, but my DM insists its metagaming because I wouldn't know that the fighter's power where he swings his sword in a circle is called Sweeping Blow (but I would know that the wizard's fire burst is called Scorching Burst) since he says that any power a fighter uses would just be him swinging his sword.  I basically said while that's true, the reason a power is named is so you CAN say "Sweeping Blow" and have everyone know what you mean, instead of saying "That move where you swing your sword in a circle and hit everybody around you" as you pretend to not know what Sweeping Blow is.</blockquote>
