"That cave," says Terrin, breathing hard on the ledge, to Stryke as he sees its light through the gloom, "is that where you're taking us?"

Terrin holds fast to Copper's rope as he kicks his legs towards the cliff, keeping his staff close to his body to increase his buoyancy. Strength (Athletics): 1D20+1+1D4 = [15]+1+[1] = 17 Terrin moves to S-32. Having arrived at the cliff's base, he begins to climb. Assisted by the rope and...

Does it take my action to "utilize" the rope, or is it considered movement?

Who said it always corresponds? There's a huge gulf between always corresponds and never corresponds. It has to never correspond for it to always be metagaming and make your claim, that it's metagaming, actually true. You didn't "imply" that it "leads" to anything. You straight up called it...

DC 10 save to maintain Concentration on guidance: Constitution: 1D20+2 = [19]+2 = 21 Despite the buffeting Terrin receives as he falls and washes down the creek, his connection to his deity remains intact as he reaches for the rope that dangles across the opening, letting her will guide his...

That reminds me. I forgot to make a concentration save. 😊

Nor does it necessarily not correspond. You're assuming that when you call the player using their knowledge "metagaming". I have always in this thread been talking about knowledge acquired by a player through gameplay. In my first post I talked about an encounter with a dragon of a particular...

Yeah, I had a sense of this when posting and originally wrote "begins swimming" but opted for the more immediate "swims to the far shore." I didn't intend a reading that implied that he actually reached the shore, though, so I think I'll edit it to the earlier wording.

Terrin wishes for the healing counsel of his deity to benefit his two companions in crossing the creek, but knowing there isn't time for a careful crossing and that they both have their own gifts to aid them, he utters a few harsh sounding words, seeking his Lady's advice, and brings his empty...

I disagree that kobolds have evolved, considering both Drak and Alrune are attested "dragon-type" names for certain kobolds in German folklore due to their association with the mandrake. I would rather kobolds, along with other goblinoids, orcs, etc., be depicted as having a strong association...

Yes, I'm seeing this on my PC and my phone, both using Chrome. The "x" to close the banner no longer appears.

Terrin is unsure of the loyalty of a former rival of Imani, but he has no time for mistrust. "I accept your help and will follow you to your hiding place," he says to the elf, quietly, "but we are not your captors. Your freedom is yours to do with as you choose. If you help us, it may avert a...

It's a possibility, yes, but you've been posting as if it's a preordained certainty in all cases that characters have no knowledge of dragons whatsoever to justify your accusations that a player who uses information about dragons acquired in gameplay is a filthy metagamer. It's stomach turning...

How was it established the character was previously unaware of and had no opportunity to acquire information about dragons? Do you play through every moment of the character's life from birth in excruciating detail?

Player knowledge doesn't preclude character knowledge. It's just orthogonal, as is your tangent about metagaming.
