Special Rule: The Rule Lawyer I, the DM, am unfamiliar with some of the more complex AD&D rules. I know this can be annoying, so we're implementing a special rule to keep things fun. If I make a ruling that contradicts the actual AD&D rules and it negatively impacts your character, you may call me out. >Quote the exact rule from the books and explain my mistake. >If you are correct: You gain a +5 bonus to your next dice roll.>If you are incorrect: You suffer a random penalty at the DM's discretion.Rule in effect starting... now.
