Message: <blockquote data-quote="shilsen" data-source="post: 1834890" data-attributes="member: 198">Here's how I handle it. I put some related points in the "playing the game" section of the campaign intro (for an Eberron game) I sent my players:* Though the campaign is set in the Eberron Campaign Setting (ECS), it is my ECS, which is not necessarily the same as the printed version. Institutions, NPCs, geography, history, basic rules, etc. may all be different in this game. A simple example is that I am not using the kalashtar race, though it is listed in the ECS. Unless your PC specifically knows something as a fact (Knowledge skills will be important in this campaign), don't assume that it's true just because it's in the book. This is also true of any book that I may use, esp. monster books. Don't assume that because I use a beholder it has the same stats as in the MM. If your PC has the appropriate Knowledge skill or experience then you will know things about the creature, but your player knowledge will mostly be irrelevant, and should not affect in-game actions anyway. Metagaming will hurt you more than it will hurt the opposition.* Feel free to correct me at the table if I get a rule wrong (I hope you will be fair enough to do so whether it benefits the PCs or not) or if you disagree with a rules interpretation. Once I have heard you and made a ruling, whether you agree or not, do not argue. We will continue with the game and discuss any disagreements later, during a break or over email.</blockquote>
