[QUOTE="Desh-Rae-Halra, post: 6634515, member: 81852"] I thought of another example of "good" metagaming that has become funny in our group. As our DM has a habit of throwing us against monsters3-4 CR above the party level, (and of course those monsters can't be alone, so Cr gets even higher), we have had a conveyor belt of character death (mostly mine recently). However, if when I brought in a new character the PCs acted trus to their character, we would probably spend the whole game, if not more, trying to earn trust. So our group has adopted this mentality of "we meet you and trust you implicitly" sort of vibe when new characters enter. Another example: sometimes a new character has to enter part way through a dungeon, so the party finds a chest full of equipment and magic items, and then some guy in the cell ( the new PC) says "Oh, that's my stuff, I'll help you"...if we didnt metagame it, the new PC might just end up locked in the cell until the dungeon was finished, and might not get his equipment at all.
