If a foe is fighting a less experienced player I may not invoke an ability that the foe has. Having a Rules Lawyer around pointing this out either makes me have to look like a fool for not using a foes abilities properly or in some way say the omission is intentional which might make it obvious I am going easy on someone.The MM Rules Lawyer would hate sitting at my table. I constantly change major and minor abilities of monsters so that people who have memorized the MM do not instantly know what to expect. I have even changed major aspects of monsters the very first time a party meets them knowing it will make the encounter 5 times more difficult if players who have memorized the MM try to act based on that knowledge, though that is not entirely a Rules Lawyer thing.</blockquote>
