Message: <blockquote data-quote="Doc_Klueless" data-source="post: 281005" data-attributes="member: 261">I think that the DM might have erred some on this matter and here's why...When I DM I keep track of what the characters usually do. If the PC usually follows the group around, then I assume that's what he is doing unless I'm told otherwise. If the PC usually examines every door by touching it with his fingers, that's what he does unless I'm told otherwise. Basically, I keep track of PC mannerisms, so that if a Player realizes there is a trap and yells out, "My character didn't follow him!" when he followed the group the last dozen times when he didn't know there was a trap, he follows the group.Unfortunately, for your DM, it appears that you have a habit of stating when and if you're following the group. That's your habit, your mannerism, and he should have honored it when you said that you didn't follow the group.Or something like that.  <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=":)" />As a player, I'm very vocal about what my character is doing. I always announce when I follow and when I don't and so on. My buddy who DMs the games I'm in KNOWS this, so never assumes that I'm following anyone. Never assumes I'm doing something that I didn't say I was doing (for the most part. You can't expect someone to say "I'm taking in a breath. Now I'm blowing it out. I'm taking in a breath. I'm blowing...").</blockquote>
