  • Early into my first campaign with my current group I had a similar situation. We were in our first dungeon and our group was arguing about what to do next because we’d just lost an NPC due to our stupidity (our dm actually murdered him because he didn’t like him but it was played off too well) and my character discovered the secret during their argument. So I went off on my own (usually impossible because I’m a giant mushroom but they were deep into their argument) and found the boss who just took out the NPC. I thought the description of the boss was too awesome to kill so I tried befriending him. And succeeded. He’s still an NPC in our current campaign and if he ever dies I’ll kill the whole group then myself.







  • I wondered off on my own while my party argued over something and stumbled upon a room occupied by a dog like creature that eats pretty much anything with a heartbeat. I thought he was cute so instead of preparing for battle I prepared for scritches. When I rolled a 20 I think my dm got excited because it’s my pet now and he can talk.




  • It depends on a lot of things. Typically you don’t want to use “outside” knowledge. So if you and the group are bullshitting before the session and you learn your paladin has high af perception you’d try not to let that knowledge bleed over into your character. But if it naturally comes up in the game “my paladin keeps passing perception checks that I keep failing” it’d be similar to noticing you have a really perceptive friend and you begin to trust their instincts a bit more and more.
