[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8826207, member: 29398"] In some cases it's bloody obvious. :) If I'm the party Cleric, waiting at camp with the Fighter and Wizard while the Thief is off scouting a way into the castle for us, I-as-character have no way of knowing what the Thief is doing or finding or so forth and thus I-as-player shouldn't know this either. For all I know she's dying at the bottom of a wall she failed to climb; or conversely, she's sailed through the mission and will be back to us in 5 minutes. But if the Thief's scouting isn't handled by note or in another room, I've met only a very few players who, on meta-learning she's fallen off a wall and is dying at its base, wouldn't immediately have their characters leap to her rescue even though in-character they have no way whatsoever of knowing she's in trouble and aren't expecting her back for another half-hour. Not acceptable here. [/QUOTE]
