I’ve been a DM for many years, and in all that time I’ve had maybe three players read the PHB. I don’t mind explaining the rules, but it would be nice to not have to remind the wizard how spell slots work (again). Is this a common thing for most groups?

    I’m always concerned that being too uptight about rules could ruin the fun for some players. Personally, I would:

    • If it is a super important rule (like spell slots), I would print flashcards and make it available to players (ask ChatGPT to summarize the rule in few words)
    • If it is an obscure rule (like, AC provided by cover), I wouldn’t care about it. Make something up on the spot. It is more important to have fun than to have precise math
