[QUOTE="Sanzuo, post: 4500348, member: 66180"] Agree with Kordeth. 4e isn't 3e, period. See if you can't get him to understand that he ought to read the three core books cover to cover like he would a completely new, unfamiliar system. Too much has changed to disregard core mechanics. I'm playing in a side-game once a week with another group, and we definitely have a "prickly" DM kind of like you describe. He seems to acknowledge that I have a better grasp on the rules and more DMing experience in general, but we still have moments where he'll shoot down a rule-correction I bring up. For example, I believe last week it came up that a combatant moving from a threatened square drew an Opportunity Attack. Pretty normal. But the DM and everyone else in the group seemed to think that the monster drew attacks from both the square he was moving FROM and the square he was moving TO. In other words, an extra OT that should not have been. They didn't seem to know the concept of a "threatened square." - Well all my attempts to correct this met with staunch resistance, and after about a minute of fierce debate I dropped the matter and moved on. It worked in my favor anyway at the time. [/QUOTE]
