[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 6700707"] Oh come on posts like these are just absolute garbage. 1: The Druid can utilize a number of forms from the MM (elementals and dinosaurs are not mentioned in the PHB), so druid players at least need to read the MM. 2: The Wizard, Warlock and anyone who takes the Find Familiar spell have options available to them from the MM. 3: The MM contains some downright cool stuff and is worth checking out. 4: What better way to [I]want[/I] to run a game than to find a creature in the MM and think "wouldn't it be really cool if we fought this thing!?" 5: A DM may set the rules for the table, but they have no right to tell you what to do with your free time, and any DM who thinks they have that right is a horrible DM, yes I went there. 6: Unless the player becomes a jerk about what they've read, then really it's none of the DMs business what they read or think they know. If a player has trouble separating in-game and out-of-game knowledge, it's fine to address THAT. But reading additional material beyond the PHB is only a sin at tables run by tyrants. [/QUOTE]
