Otherwise, I never kept any record of their AC/Stats/Saves, whatever, either in 2E or 3E (and I don't expect I will in 4E as well). Similarly, I've never had a DM keep stats on me (although I have played with DMs where I would leave my sheet at their house ... perhaps they looked at it while I was gone? That seems strange)At least where I live, keeping your player's stats doesn't really seem to have ever been part of the game. I love DMing, but 3E does get pretty rough to handle at high levels, for many of the reasons outlined in this thread. Some people groove to it, I didn't. Even with modules, I felt the prep time got pretty high if I had to calculate out buffs/plan out tactics.</blockquote>
