She's always arguing with him about rules and mechanics, primarily because she's a bigger fan of narrative rulings rather than precise rules. Sometimes I feel like he could give a little more leeway, especially when the rules are hazy on the specific circumstance, but most of the time it gets annoying how adamant she gets when arguing about things that are clearly spelled out in the rules.In one of my earlier sessions playing with them, at the start of our last campaign, her PC was close to dying from 3 failed death saving throws. She looked at him with daggers in her gaze and said, "You're really going to kill my character?" He relented and let her use an action point to reroll the death saving throw, which saved her PC. Many, many sessions later, the DM undid this ruling and said that, as per the rules, we weren't allowed to use action points for that purpose unless we had the specific Paragon Path that gives that ability.More recently, we were fighting in a small settlement. Her PC had been trying to hold a door shut from the outside, but failed as one of the enemies inside rolled higher than her and got it open. She asked the DM which way the door swung open, and we established that it opened inside. A few rounds later, her PC was inside the building, next to the door, fighting a few minions inside. The DM had an enemy from outside open the door and try to attack her, but this turned into another argument, as she argued that he couldn't have opened the door if it swung inside and she was standing next to it. If it had been me as DM, I probably would have ruled in her favor, as it was reasonable, but it turned into a fairly long argument. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" /></blockquote>
