[QUOTE="Lela, post: 870748, member: 1216"] I have a player similar to that. Often though, I ask him to look up rules for me (involving combat). For example, I knew the Minitour was going to charge the centaur paladin and attempt a Bull Rush to knock him down the stairs onto the rest of the party. I told him to look up the rules while everyone was busy lining up on the stairs and he was getting anxious. Bull Rush works, centaur slams into a few PCs before the stairway curves and the player (not the gets to dictate what both sides need to do (after all, he just read the rules). Later, when the stairway battle continued, that same player was among a group stuck at the bottom of the stairs with nothing to do. They started playing poker (imaginary) and the summoned wolf was winning. I think they had almost as much fun doing that as anything else. Everytime their turn came, I just asked how their PC was doing at the game. They responded, and we all laughed. [/QUOTE]
