Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mark" data-source="post: 4098731" data-attributes="member: 5">Yes, everyone.Does this player not own the Player's Handbook?It is unfair that a player seemingly refuses to get acquainted with the most basic of rules they need to know to play their particular character or, at the least, cannot look those particular rules up for themselves when unsure.  That seems more like the mark of someone who acts helpless because they crave attention or just doesn't care about the fun of the other people at the table.  It certainly hinders the fun of everyone else at the game table and that's not fair to the rest of the group.In a similar situation, I had a player in a game who did virtually the same thing.  When it became obvious they were going to continually ask about rules they either should know from the character class section or off of their character sheet, I would simply refer them to either the book or sheet.  After three game sessions of doing this, I took them aside and asked them why I needed to keep doing this.  I told them it was making the game a lot less fun for me and grinding the game to a halt for the other players, making it less fun for them, too.  The player told me they just couldn't be bothered to learn the rules, that it simply wasn't a high enough priority for them in thier life.  I told the player that they probably just were not a very good fit for this particular group but they could rejoin someday if things changed.  I'm sure that player would be find in another group and everyone can now have fun again.</blockquote>
