[QUOTE="AlViking, post: 9621766, member: 6906980"] A great example of not understanding the game is the players on Critical Role. How many times has Matt had to explain how even basic things work? I don't expect them to understand all the rules of the game, but good grief, the least you could do would be read the section on your chosen character class and their spells. Sadly it's not just limited to them. I still have to correct one of my players about how sneak attack works, sometimes more than once in a single session. Then again this is the guy that refuses to use Steady Aim even when he doesn't move on his turn and won't get sneak attack without it. Then I have the player who runs a druid and the only thing she really uses of her abilities is to occasionally shapechange. In the first campaign I made a pregen champion fighter because it was simple but this time she wanted to play a druid. A druid that never casts a spell other than shillelagh so she can hit things. Unless she's shapechanged so she's better at hitting things. You can lead a horse to water but even if you explain how to do it you can't get them to drink. [/QUOTE]
