There clearly are times when the DM needs to consult the books. However, I don't believe the middle of a climactic combat is the time to do it, especially if the DM feels he can make a suitable ruling far more quickly.I tend towards the same. That said, when running the game, my leaning as far as rules-accuracy is that it's going to be 'good enough', which is about 90% right 90% of the time. But the reaction described (that the player would stop the game if the DM made a ruling rather than checking the books) I would consider to be a disruption, and not acceptable except in extreme cases.</blockquote>
