[QUOTE="Sadrik, post: 4809369, member: 14506"] Excellent ideas! We did this last game, it seemed to help a bit. Agreed, excellent idea. That is a great idea, for whatever reason in 3e I did this but in 4e I don't, perhaps because I am rolling different damage dice every round. I wonder if we could get compliance... We have this taken care of on the character sheets. I use them for the first time last session but there is an aversion to the concept of cards at the table. Anti-MtG sentiment, I guess. Still several of us have the sheets of cards printed out just not cut out. DM prints them out and has sheets that he prepares with HP and stuff to mark off as the combat ensues. This is also happening already. Many times the rules are looked up either after game or by another player (often me) as we play. We use colored disks and little numbered things to indicate which monster is which. These add some added effort to get right as we are move disks around and moving the little numbers with the monster minis He usually draws the maps when we play but I was allowed to draw the arena once... I perused through it once before perhaps I will take another look and send it tot he DM. We may be guilty of this a bit, we often make jokes and laugh a lot at the table. It is fun for the first hour of combat but then player fatigue sets in and then we all look haggard waiting for our action and taking our turn, not to mention the night is wearing on and it is getting later in the night too :p.
