For example, party enters a crypt, upon entering the first chamber discover a circular room with two exits (excluding the doorway you enter through), a plinth in the centre with a large gem on (screaming trapped!!) and some decoration between the two exit doorways with a gem sized hole (convenient!). The party investigates the gem discovering it is indeed trapped but unable to determine what the effect is and how to get around it. <br />The party decides its best to move on for the moment and get the bigger picture. Now insert said roleplayer; who decides to examine every nook and cranny of the room while the rest of the party trundle down one of the paths (the right one, as decided by coin toss).<br />The party enters the next room (200m away down a corridor), and encounters three Skeletons which rise up and attack (naturally). Meanwhile the Paladin is still examining the exact angle at which the gem is resting on the plinth and counting the amount of fleur de lis' there are in the decor. Ultimately completely missing the fight.<br />This is a regular occurrence with this particular player.<br /><br />Oh and there's the player who's always the thief, even when it's not their class. 'I loot the body' every body then horde the loot (neglecting to disclose this to any of the group) expected behaviour from a thief, not sure it fits a monk though 😕<br /><br />I could go onAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08710723597049734422noreply@blogger.com
