5/5

Whippets! My god, whippets!

For some reason, there was a period when every other scenario was filled with whippets. Owl-whippet-bears. Were-whippets. "Oh, Tim Hitchcock wrote this one; you can tell because there's an encounter with three whippet ghouls." If you bought a cure light wounds wand with 2 prestige, it came with a free whippet.

Or maybe that was a dream.

To piggy-back on some other, excellent advice, push the flow of information harder than you might expect. Ask the GM to clarify any muddy issues. Ask players details about their characters. As the GM about the campaign world, about the NPCs, about the situations.

Assume that the other people at your table don't know what your character can do. If you follow RainyDayNinja's advice and pick up some atypical skills ("My barbarian picks locks!") be free with that information.

The first time Mark Moreland tried to pronounce the feat, he bit his tongue and was bleeding for two hours. It put him in a sour mood and he hasn't been reasonable about it since then.

At the time, there was all sorts of official "concern about the oral health of the playerbase" excuses, but it seems rather clear that it was nothing but spite. Spite, I tell you! From a man whose pride was wounded more deeply than his tongue.
