I have one player that will read everything, so I have change it up.

Ah....you have one of those.....

Back in my Pathfinder days, I had a player who would have d20pfsrd open in another window and thought he was very slick when he would look up monsters to read their stat block while fighting them.

Same. I 'modified' them somewhat. "How do you know that it's vulnerable to <thing>?"

Ugh, I ran PF for a long time. Players always stuck to paper (even me when playing) thankfully.

I'd just do something slightly incorrectly and when he would pounce on it to correct me let the other plays disapproval get him to stop for a little while.

That's when your monsters have extra abilities not in the handbook.

They are a good sport about it all, try to guess at the end what we were playing. I suppose if you just got endless stuff like from DM's Guild, you wouldn't need to do that.

When I started running a Dark Conspiracy game, I told my players they'd get a lot more enjoyment out of it of they didn't read the second half of the book (GM section). I know that one of my players was going to ignore me anyway. Imagine his surprise when the "Vampires" and "Ghouls" in the game actually did have the sort of traditional immunity to standard attacks. "I shot that thing with a .50cal!" "Yup, doesn't look like it even noticed."

Ironically, one of my players assumed that the monsters were traditional and his lighter weapons did hurt the same creature
