My players take forever to roll. I'd get impatient waiting if they were rolling for 4 minions and adding numbers, and pondering each result and what they can do about it. Or if I had to wait for an AoE to be resolved, they would be rolling one by one waiting for each other to add their numbers and come up with a tally. Much faster if I do the rolling.2. I like describing what enemy attacks look like, and knowing whether I hit or miss helps me be more fluid with that description.3. I like rolling behind a screen. Sometimes, when I get a string of good rolls, the players won't necessarily know it, and they may think they are fighting tougher foes. This keeps them on their toes. I don't want them to know exactly what I need to roll on the die to hit them. They may play differently if they know I need 15's to hit them with some low level brutes, or if they know I only need a 5 to hit them with a controller.4. Spotlight time would shift from all players getting equal attention during their turns, to defenders getting a lot more camera time because they are rolling defense rolls a lot more often than anyone else. They already get a lot of interrupts. No need to coax their ego more.</blockquote>
