I was a somewhat... harsher player then than I am now, but this is really not very good advice: The DM looks like an idiot and 'rules-lawyer' probably gets booted from the game (in this case the group dissolved before that) if it doesn't work. If it does work, the rules lawyer memorizes his character sheet (which isn't hard), and resolves to be an even stricter rules lawyer. Either way this is bad. It's also intellectually dishonest: they are expecting you to know something which you have implicitly agreed to be 'tested' on. | |
