[QUOTE="Weeble, post: 228491, member: 4514"] Metagaming is using player knowledge that a character wouldn't have for the benefit of that character. *A mild case of this would be a character drinking a potion of bull's strength and casting Arcane Armor while traveling in the woods just because the player sees the DM roll a bunch of d20s thinking "he must be rolling Move Silently checks or Spot checks." *From mild to moderate would be one player having a character out of sight and sound of the rest of the party, then something bad happening to this character, followed by another player saying "Bozo rushes to the aid of Dork!", at which point the DM would say "stop metagaming!" *And from moderate to horrid (and the one I love the most as a DM) is when a player goes out and buys or downloads the adventure after the first session and before completion, then mysteriously, and with ponderous acting, seems to know the answers to the key parts of the adventure.
