Rules are rules, and rules are dead while situations are alive. There are some situations looks like lawful, and some situations sounds like exploits and cheating?
Let's just discuss some of these situations, do you think they are lawful or not?
A=Strong Build
B=Weak Build or low lvl char
A go and draw all the attention of monsters and go fighting.B stand back,then join the battle.
Situation 1: B is so weak that he can only make damage when he roll 20. A does almost 99.9% DPS in this situation.B makes almost no damage,but he is keeping fighting.
Situation 2: B's attack draw one monsters' attention, and he runs around A's battle field till the end of the battle to avoid death. B does less then 10% DPS and 90% of his time in battle is running.
Situation3: B is good at spells, he just cast a spell to scare or blind or confuse lots of monsters, then stand back until A killed these monsters. B can cast some aoe spells, but A refuse B's suggestion.
B is a cleric or some build can use the healing wand or some build good at healing with kit, and B keeping invisible in battle, he don't join the fighting, but keeping healing A.
Situation4: A is facing some dangerous mosters,and will die if B stop healing.
Situation5: After dealing with some dangerous mosters, A is facing some weak monsters and almost won't get hurt during the battle, B is still keeping invisible in battle, almost doing nothing. B think he is a doctor or someone similar, he only want to heal, but not to kill.
Situation6:A is a mage who want to use his three shields to kill mosters. He can kill one group monsters in 10 seconds;Then melee fighter B joins the party. Together, the party need 15 seconds to kill one group of monters because B draws one or two monster's attention and can't kill them fast. In this case, A demands B to stand back before A has all the attention of monsters. B joins 20% of fighting time and makes 10% damage.
Well... Rules say we can't stand back and just watch. In these situations above, B sometimes joined all the fighting but almost make no damage, sometimes B is keeping doing something helpful except fighting.
In your opinions, which of these situations are exploits and cheating, which of them are not?
