And, if she's really having trouble, the line "your first idea is probably your best one," is your friend.Make the point to her that her character is under pressure, and has to act in haste. And advise her to come up with a couple of go-to actions (basic attack, an attack cantrip, whatever) for when she's not sure.Thereafter, the first time there's a delay, remind her of the above. The second time, say "quickly, please". The third time, start audibly counting down from 10 (and each time after that reduce the count - start at 8, 5, 3...). If the count expires, she loses her action.I disagree. If she's happy playing that type of character, let her.I assume that this is with various groups, and not because you've been frequently changing the rules on her?My advice here would simply be to correct her and move on. Just as you shouldn't debate with a rules lawyer in the middle of a combat, so too you shouldn't debate matters here. Just apply the rules for this game, and get on with it.If it's a persistent problem, you can try putting together a cheat sheet for the game, or loan her a PHB to go study, or whatever.Oh, yes - and pick one ruleset and stick to it! If she has problems moving from one to another, your group needs to do what it can to help, and that means not moving about.</blockquote>
