[QUOTE="Drakron, post: 812773, member: 10830"] [B][/b] Meta-knowledge is [b][i]PCs[/i][/b] using knowledge they sould not have. He was in not "cheating" since he knows D&D 3rd ed core rules over DR and found strange that damage done by his weapon were not bypassing DR as acording to the rules. [b][/b] He have every right to expect the results of the core rules plus any house rule in effect that he was informed. [b][/b] No, cheating is reading the module and using that information to get the best possible result. Also characters have a past and neither they or the world was created 5 minutes ago, some knowledge exist of creatures they never personaly seen or fight but that could be get from a passing adventurer tales or bard song. Its gives more damage and a +1 to damage in each round means 10 extra points of damage being inflicted after 10 hits. A +1 is quite useful for non fighter classes (rogue for example). Also you are accusing him of meta knowledge and cheating when in fact he just pointed out [i]as a player[/i] that the rules were not being enforced. The fact is, you alter the rules mid game and did not informed the players of that fact and worst, that players sould only know the PHB rules with everthing else being "DM knowledge". The rules are ALL the rules being enforced in the game table, either then being core rules or house rules. [/QUOTE]
