Message: <blockquote data-quote="Oryan77" data-source="post: 2896372" data-attributes="member: 18701">How is it a tactical decision when you forget that a large creature doesn't need to move up to attack because he has a 10' reach? That's a slip of the rules, not a bad strategic decision. Telling the DM, "You should move in this square so you can get a flank bonus" is completely different then reminding the DM "You know you don't need to move into that square to attack because he has a 10' reach, remember?"As someone just said (and I actually hate this quote), "you aren't your PC". Well, as a DM, I'm not my NPC's. I can't be expected to remember every rule & NPC ability 100% of the time. Obviously you have never been a DM. And if you have, you've never been a long term DM because you would appreciate players pointing out a rule even if it's not in their favor. Or maybe I'm completely wrong and you are an ace when it comes to running your 2 clerics, 1 wizard, 1 Iron Golem, 5 ghoul henchmen, and the Lich master-mind all in the same encounter against the PC's. Most of us are human, and I appreciate when my players remind me of something I've forgotten whether it's in or out of their favor. I'm always helping them out when they forget something. Then again, I don't play D&D with a Player vs DM mentality.I look at it like playing checkers. A player not pointing out a rule I overlooked is the same as me forgetting it's my move, so I tell him to hurry and move his checker piece and he giggles and moves; hoping I won't notice that he moved twice in a row.</blockquote>
