I'm Shil and I'm a Rules Lawyer.In my experience, there's a big difference between being a rules lawyer and being a disruptive rules lawyer. In my group, when I'm a player I'm usually the one reminding the DM and other players about rules they've missed. Since I do so whether it benefits or hurts the party, there's no problems about bias. And since I'm essentially presenting it as a reminder, don't mind what the ruling is once I've made the point, and make it as quickly as possible, it doesn't waste time either. If the DM didn't want me to do so then I wouldn't, but that's not the case and on the whole, it seems to help the DM and the other players and everyone's fine with this type of rules-lawyering.When I DM, I encourage the players to remind me about things I've forgotten. And as long as they do the same thing I do and don't waste time arguing interpretations once I've made a ruling, it's fine for all concerned.</blockquote>
