[QUOTE="Swarmkeeper, post: 8956843, member: 6921763"] I also agree with those who say the DM called for the save prematurely. In exploration and/or social situations, as DM, I have each player say what their character is doing in the scene before resolving any outcomes. This not only avoids "I saw him roll a saving throw so I'm not doing [I]that[/I] same thing" type situation but also allows for Working Together (the out-of-combat equivalent of Help), [I]guidance,[/I] [I]resistance[/I], or Bardic Inspiration to assist your other party members with certain tasks/actions. This also would have provided the explicit in-fiction opportunity for another character to be watching the host's expression as Brickyard ate the fruit [I]or [/I]to be observing Brickyard as he ate the fruit [I]or [/I]really to be doing anything else in the scene other than eating the fruit, too - thereby avoiding the metagaming concern in the scene that seems to cause consternation at some tables.
