Ability/Skill checks - let's not metagame them too much, ok?
-
I don't mean to sound like a sour-puss, but this happened on three different occasions now, so I think it deserves its own thread.
Now, it might just be me, but if you, on a quest or otherwise, come across a Lore or Strength check it is not okay to say "// what's your STR" or "// who has the highest persuade" and then decide after everyone says what their stats are. If we really have to metagame like that, at least keep it to tells so it doesn't bother others. It sure bugs me. :(

Yeah, that seems crappy - but I've mostly only seen it in low level quests and with newer players, most of whom I expect don't read the forums.

keep it IC?
come up to a str check, your char goes: Hey guys! Any of you got some good muscles? Can you lift that for us?
Or before going to talk to a NPC, even if you know or dont know of there is a persuade check, ask ICly "Say… any of you really good at talking with folks? You know, persuade em to give us a bit extra and all that?"

One thing I find so tedious is when people say things like the above in front of said NPC! To do so before meeting the NPC would seem highly useful and very appropriate for some characters. To do so in front of the NPC would likely instigate a complete Phail in any Persuade Check.

I agree with this. It is also very appropriate what Lamancha has said too. Simply these matters are down to a bit of common sense and clever Roleplay.
