[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 7656434, member: 4937"] No, of course he doesn't. So? If anything the DM is more likely to be wrong than anyone else at the table. After all, the DM is doing far more than anyone else at the table and has far more things to be wrong about. And he has by far the harder job. Probably 90% of the mistakes at a table are made by the DM. So? You aren't actually contradicting me here, which is why I can happily agree with you and even take it further than you. We aren't dealing with the question of whether or not a DM can be wrong. Of course they can. This isn't the either 'the DM is always right' or else 'the DM is always wrong' you seem to be casting as when you bring this up as if you thought it would contradict my opinion. Absolutely, I completely agree. And as a player taking a different role in the game they are entitled to at least the deference you'd give a player. More in my opinion, and for the same reasons that DMs are more often the ones in the wrong. None of that defends our argumentative rules lawyer in the slightest. Quite the contrary. [/QUOTE]
