[QUOTE="R_J_K75, post: 8725516, member: 6921294"] Every once in a great while I think there are times that warrant a stoppage of game to look up a rule. Only if it really matters though. Such as a player's character may die, or there a disagreement between the player and DM on a rule interpretation that can have a major impact on the outcome of an encounter/game. This happens extremely seldom though in our games. Honestly, I can't remember the last time we've done this. In earlier edition this was easier, took little time because the rules were somewhat better organized, and we poured over the books so much between games so we knew where to look. A good example of how disorganized the 5E core books are IMO is jumping. To fully understand it you need to read the skill, movement, and in some cases the jump spell and the ring of jumping. I think this is one of the reasons 5E rules are so hard to remember or understand fully is they're all over the place. Not to mention the indexes are terrible and you need a microscope to read them.
