(As opposed to what seems to be the majority, in that questioning is to be done after the session is over - which I do not understand. By then, the result of the ruling can not be changed, and no one might remember what the original question was in the first place. That doesn't do anything for us.)So, I'm quite pleased when players point out any mistakes I make so I can quickly rectify them. In fact, I've made it abundantly clear to my players that they are fully responsible for what's in the PHB. However, there are conditions - while I'm fine with them questioning anything in the PHB, that player had better be ready to point out the correct ruling. I'm not going to wait for him to fumble through the rules: know what you're talking about, and find it in about 30 seconds, or keep quiet and quit slowing down the game. Further, any questioning of what's in the DMG and MM will be promptly ignored. There are just too many variables for the players to know what's happening. So, for my game, there is never an appropriate time to "challenge" the DM's ruling when it comes to the DMG or MM.Overall, though, I don't mind rules discussions - and I like to get group consensus on how to rule something for future reference. I have no intention of dictating a ruling.</blockquote>
