[QUOTE="Zaran, post: 5204475, member: 56710"] I'll give them hints like "This goblin seems to be quite nimble but doesn't seem like his little body could take much strain" so they can figure out that maybe vs Reflex attacks aren't the best idea. I don't tell them any stats but I'll tell them what the creature is if it's a pretty common site. Also, I'll have them roll a skill check. No matter what they role I'll give them basic info. If they roll high i'll give them something of more use like Vulnerabilities or resistances. I also declare that some classes like Clerics would know more about undead than say Rogues. Or wizards might know about things like demons without a skill check. I never tell them about a particular power until I hit them with it. That way if they see it again they'll go "Oh, those are the things that can kick me in the head through a shadow!" One of my player's is a GM as well so I'll alter some of my monsters so that they don't always know exactly what they can do. [/QUOTE]
