[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7951095, member: 6801845"] Not sure I understand all the issues. I've done and encouraged rolling attack and damage for as long as I can remember over multiple editions. The player just keeps track of what AC they hit. The only exception is that if they have one of the -5/+10 attack options they have to indicate their chosen option before they roll. I can't think of the last time they didn't know whether they'd have advantage or disadvantage, but if they rolled 1 die they just roll a second time. If they rolled 2 it depends on how organized they are. I have similar colored D20s that are different enough I know which one I use if I only roll 1 (which I always use if I roll 1 die). If they don't have that, just reroll the attack when it happens. Smite is always after you know whether or not you hit. If you're going to smite on your turn if you hit (crit or not) declare it before you roll. Sneak attack always applies to the first hit that qualifies. Last but not least, always have a sequence of attacks. If I have 2 attacks it's always Black and then Blue. If I have a 3rd it's White. As a DM I do something similar - I'll make multiple attacks at the same time. Black is always first and closest (or furthest to my right) then Blue. Besides, it's a great excuse to buy more dice!
