A trivial spellcraft roll will get the answer to that, and its not like I'm passing notecards around for those. What they do with the knowlege? It depends on how the group feels about metagaming. In my group, metagaming is pretty much cheating, and is frowned on heavily  by everyone. Thus, no one does it. I could see more liberal groups, however. So its going to vary.Like above with metagaming, but this one is more dangerous for the Players involved. Never take what you see as what actually is. Usually you'll be right (as long as humanoids aren't involved), but I can't imagine anyone relying on so much guessed information. Depends on the group. Some groups may feel that it isn't other people's job to remind others of things, orther groups will feel that its important for everyone to catch each others mistakes. I fall into the latter, but I can see certain groups in the former, so its going to vary, obviously. I don't think my group would see this as cheating, exactly, but questionable behavior.Cheating itself is really any time you ignore the rules. So if you don't know you're not following the rules you aren't cheating, but if you are conciously doing something not according the rules, then you're cheating. And, rules in this case must include all Table Rules, which go back to the metagaming and things.</blockquote>
