[QUOTE="Benjamin Olson, post: 8405114, member: 6988941"] Personally having worked as a substitute teacher I associate the "I don't want to point out that the authority figure is not applying the rules right because we are benefiting" motive with immaturity, and it is not the behavior of people I want to run games for. I appreciate when the other people at the table are supportive of me doing my job. Helping me catch mistakes, even when doing so goes against their immediate in-game interests, is one form that supportiveness can take. It also establishes that players credibility as something more than a weaselly rules lawyer when they point out a rule I missed that does happen to be to their benefit. But, know your DM. Some will just get stressed out or irritated by being corrected. And even many who appreciate actual errors they make being pointed out will likely tire of having all the times they intentionally change something questioned as "mistakes". [/QUOTE]
