Well, could the challenge rating please be removed from the character and NPC descriptons?

I think it's really annoying when people play being the bigmouthed wannabe and as soon as they see something like "overpowering" or "impossible" in the description, they back off. The opposite is seen if the challenge is just "moderate" or "easy" of course.

It's just a good opportunity to cut down meta-gaming without taking away too much in game mechanics.

I'd like to see this too! I think it would greatly help RP out!

Its pretty silly that the guy who has sworn revenge on me a week or so ago will not attack me because I'm impossible to him. To me this is a mild form of metagaming.

And here I always thought that it was just his gracious demeanor.
