[QUOTE="Blue, post: 8957246, member: 20564"] So my character sees someone eat fruit, be fine, and continue to eat fruit, and decide not to eat it? Because of out-of-character knowledge that a saving through was made? This is why I don't like metagaming. Your character doesn't have that knowledge, why would you react like that? It's like being asked what your passive perception is, no one is told they see anything, but assume that you're about to be ambushed. As a side note, I played a halfling bard whom hospitality was a big thing. Eatting offered food without concern has gotten him poisoned once* - but also multiple times got him in good with someone else, or at least to a point where they would listed to what he had to say. (* And that poisoned was the time he went off the rails. We had recently hit 9th, and my halfling bard who was all about action denial and buffs and debuffs and never really did damage stalked across to their 'host' chanting and by the time he got there had polymorphed into a giant ape and proceeded to smack the stuffing out of someone who would abuse the rules of hospitality.)
