Any action however large or small can be called out as metagaming. And if a DM wants players to “perform” their non-meta game ritual before finally attempting the action everyone knows is the right one, how does one determine how many good-faith “non-metagame” actions are required before a “metagame” action is allowed? 1, 3, 10?Better, as you say, to not even play the “metagame game” with your players and allow them to declare whatever action they wish. Much better, IMHO, to give experienced players a fresh setting to play in where little of their monster knowledge will aid them.</blockquote>
