And is not neccesarily a bad thing. Because it may interrupt the flow for a little bit, but if the DM doesn't know the rule then they may take time out to look up the rule in a book, and that can take even more time.A rules lawyer is all about using the rules against everybody else, including the DM and all players in order to get the greatest benefit for his own character. That's the difference.But then again, a DM can also misuse the rules and the term too, especially if they're a bad DM who wants to give the players illusion of control over their characters. So it can work both ways.</blockquote>
