Matt Mercer: Rules Lawyer Legend

Matt Mercer absolutely destroys during the Dungeons and Dragons Rules Lawyer Shiny Question of the game show Um, Actually!

[dr.zespert]

i love how everyone’s taken it upon themselves to continue rules lawyering in the comment section. the true rule lawyer spirit!! (￣^￣)ゞ

[cmattss]

Love the backstory that Brennan wrote the prompt and was awestruck that Mercer noticed an unintentional mistake

[ASquared]

Matt Mercer’s explanation was a well needed catharsis after listening to that nightmare of a D&D scenario

[theBATgoesUPoh]

Anyone who isn't familiar with Critical Role should know that even Matt Mercer, the man who just laid down the D&D law, still finds room for rule breaking flair in his games. To him, the number one rule that trumps the rest entirely is the Rule of Fun

[shoehornjim]

Trapp: "How many errors did you find, Matt?"
Matt: "Twenty"
The guy who drew the comic and put 18 errors in: ', :|

[SirusXIII]

The best part of Matt's flex in this is that there isn't even a hint of ego. He's the picture of true humility.

[MrJuliansnow]

I've watched this over and over because as pointed out, "there is something very satisfying about watching someone just be very good at something". Truth.

[alphahunter]

I find some peace of mind knowing that even though we may not get a Brennan Matt face off we still have Brennan fact checking Matt on DnD related questions behind the scenes.

[СветкаВолков]

Really shows how nice he is with his friends. Less lawyering because he just wants everyone to have a good time. A lot more cocking his head, laughing, and just going "... Sure." on CR.

Me: **still learning D&D rules**
Also me: **nods at everything Matt says as if I know exactly what he's saying**

[tea-brox]

This is like the Galadriel gift to Gimli. "We asked for 18 errors; matt found 20"

[Creeplet]

I don't think anyone's mentioned this but invisibility has a range of touch and the picture depicts them casting it at range.

[VexWerewolf]

I love how he did the legendary thing of getting more than 100% on a test because he found something wrong with the test

[CrzyLion]

Saying gruumsh one eye is a dwarven god of the forge is such an insult, random dwarves in a different universe wrote it down in the book of grudges.

[danielluna]

"Oh look, Matt Mercer missed this"
-People after analyzing for 2 hours when MM had 1min

[oricalu]

Every few months, I come back to this video, thinking "Oh, I know more about D&D now, I wonder how much more I will understand", and I am always blown away by how much I still miss

[TransTess]

There's something so fun about rules lawyering in a friendly context.

[akulatraxus]

The true skill is knowing all the rules AND knowing when to hand wave them. Bless MM.

[juliawidobravely]

I felt so much horror hearing that round of combat. It would've been fun to see the contestants reacting as it was read off--the looks on their faces would've been HILARIOUS.

Somewhere in CR Campaign 2:
Marisha: "Can i get advantage because of people screaming my name?"
Matt (with a soft voice): "No..."
