What Do I See?

A phrase asked, always on an out-of-play level, as a courtesy to better understand for the player what their character is seeing. One of the hardest things for some people to grasp of the concept is that when a person asks “what do I see?” they as a player are asking another player what they see, not their character vocalizing this question. Answers should be given out-of-play and in-play reactions to the person asking “what do I see” should not occur. This becomes most problematic in situations where a person might be hiding and sees something but does not understand so they ask “what do I see?” to gain a descriptor and in hand gives away their in-play location. However, this was done due to an out-of-play question and the responder should go about their business in-play as if they still have no clue to the location of the person, even though out-of-play they do know their location.
