| Mar 4, 2016 at 5:12 | comment | added | Scott | This advice is dangerous for players who metagame (whether consciously or not). If you take a swing at the local tavern drunk, and are told that it's not worth rolling, you get a good clue that he is the legendary monk that the party is looking for, disguising himself to test the party. If you search for hidden doors and are told not to bother rolling you know there aren't any there, it's not just that there you didn't find them. Rolling, particularly when the DM rolls the dice hidden from players, helps many groups that have problems compartmentalising what the player and character know. | |
