[QUOTE="HeapThaumaturgist, post: 2605766, member: 12332"] If he has the 'net, I think several of the online SRDs allow folks to make spellbooks. He could make a spellbook containing his spells, so he'd have less to flip through. But here's the thing. When I'm playing, I tend to do the same thing. Is he really NOT paying attention or is it just annoying that it SEEMS like he's not paying attention? I'm horribly flighty-minded, maybe a little ADD. I write, watch TV, and read three webpages at the same time, usually. It's one reason I like to GM, I think. Usually so much going on that it keeps me occupied. When I'm a PLAYER ... well, I need something else to do. I could usually bring my laptop, say, but I'd end up filling up all the bored moments that I really WOULD end up not paying any attention to the game. Paging through the book lets me refresh myself on any rules I'm about to use and keeps me from getting frustrated with how little is actually getting DONE. :) Heck, when I'm on the other end of the screen I'm always looking for ways to pack more fun into less time. --fje [/QUOTE]
