[QUOTE="Wolfspider, post: 3922452, member: 300"] No character should "sit out an entire battle" because of these circumstances. There is more to combat than hitting something with your sword. I'm sure a creative rogue could have come up with a lot more options than just sitting there even when faced with a seemingly invincable foe. Goodness. Yes, they do sound extremely impatient and restless. :confused: I would defninitely say that the problem with your group does not rest with the rules at all, but with these impatient members. Everyone deserves a chance to shine, after all, and everyone can't hog the spotlight at once. Also, it's the players' fault if they're just "sitting around waiting for someone else to move the game along." During the bard's performance, for example, the other characters could be reacting to what's going on (also known as "roleplaying"), aiding with the performance, trying to influence the audience, watching the crowd for reactions and suspicious characters, flirting with barmaids, etc. It sounds to me that there is way too much emphasis placed on dice rolls and mechanics.
