[QUOTE="Anavel Gato, post: 1063221, member: 12257"] On sunday my group meet and we were playing everything was okay. The resident rule lawyer was chiming in (as is par for the course) nothing really involving me at the time. So we are playing, now mind you I am just a player, not the DM, the rule lawyer is also a player, I cast mage armor, a round later I cast mirror image. The confrontation lasts only about two rounds after I cast the mirror image. Next we move into the cave. I am not even barely in the cave I remind the dm I have a mage armor on, mirror image and now I am casting invisibility. The rule lawyer says, no your mirror image is gone. Now, I don't always read duration and pretty much guess when it is over and if anything i cut my spells early. This pissed me off though, because he continued, "it only lasts rounds, I am pretty sure." So, I crack the PHB and look do the math, and say to him did it take 30 rounds from the time I cast it to us getting to this point. The dm said you probably looked around some, so i took 10 rounds off the duration. Later, the rule lawyer was set his character sheet off to the side of himself and when it was his turn looked everywhere, but next to him, I pointed to it and said nothing. I guess my deal is that if you can't take care of your character sheet do you have any right to question my character about something like spell duration??? Who else has had such a run in or has just felt like kicking his rule lawyer right in his.....head..... [/QUOTE]
