There's a guy I play with on a somewhat regular basis that does the same thing. I know him reasonably well so I had a chat with him about it and it turned out it was newver updated because he could never truly choose what to do with his build and spend all his time scouring the internet and his books for the best build ideas but not making a choice and updating his character in time. I told him that some of the other players were getting annoyed by the constant 'well I haven't picked all of my skills yet but this one should be at X' kind of comments that came during gameplay. He understood and together we updated his character and later on I asked him every now and then if he was still updating it and sometimes helped him make up his mind.About him rules-laywering your game: if a rule problem apears during gameplay you can spend a couple of minutes trying to look it up in a book thats on hand, or when you can't find it quickly or don't want to interupt the game make up a rule. If a player (including your problem player) makes a suggestion (until you say yes it is just a suggestion no matter how convinced the player seems), and it sounds reasonable you can take that ruling. But always state when you houserule something during gameplay that it's just for the session and you (that's you AND the players) will look into it after the session for a more correct ruling.Always talk with your players, they're usualy friends and there's no need to argue with them over trivial things like D&D.</blockquote>
