You are not a fool. I was just being facetious.

Since when do grown men settle their gaming differences by having a private heart to heart?
Just tell him (a) you're the DM, (b) he's acting like a prick and (c) he's getting the boot.
Man up!
Last session I was running a battle, and the enemy NPC was down to half hp. On the NPC’s turn I said “The NPC is going to try to tumble away.” My player, who has never read the PHB description of tumble before raises his voice and says “He can’t do that because I have tumble and I can stop him.”

KingCrab said:That is the case. The other players and I even offered to chip in and buy him a 3.5 PHB. He seems to almost like the power of not knowing the rules and arguing that his character has powers (when he doesn't) and arguing that monsters don't have powers (when they do). If he knew the way things worked, he couldn't fight me on everything.
For example, two gaming sessions ago, he kept insisting that his character didn't have to take full damage from breath weapons on a failed save because he had evasion. If he understood the difference between evasion and improved evasion, he wouldn't be able to argue the way he does in these situations. In a way, his ignorance keeps him safe. He may end up taking damage in the end, but if he does the whole group is going to get punished hearing him rant about how horrible the rules are.
Oh man, no. Don't give him the boat. Ouch.Moridin said:Sounds like you're justified in applying Das Boot.
