Message: <blockquote data-quote="Henry" data-source="post: 1881596" data-attributes="member: 158">I had a case of a metagame issue right this weekend. Of my 6 players, Player A plays the party Artificer, and Player B plays the Cleric. The party encountered a Flesh Golem; after some serious injuries, Player A decides that his Artificer is going to smash the golem with some *firepower*. He pulls out a Wand of Lightning bolt, and lights the golem up. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Player B just sits and smiles without saying a word, because though he KNOWS that firing lightining at Frankenstein's Monster is a bad idea, his character doesn't know it, and NOT A SINGLE PERSON in the party had Knowledge (Dungeoneering) nor any experience with golems. And player A gets slightly mad at Player B and myself because neither of us warned him! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> We explained it's what is called "live and learn." Not everything is going to produce the optimal result, and it's not in-character to say otherwise. However, his artificer now knows you DON'T fire eletricity at a Flesh Golem.Which will definitely come in handy later. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
