[QUOTE="ExploderWizard, post: 4615205, member: 66434"] Lets consider the meaning of the original topic here: How did you avoid spamming attacks in 3E combat? Think about that question for a moment. How many of us that played this game in the somewhat early days (1980's) sat around and wondered why we constantly spammed attacks in combat? Did we constantly try and figure out why our sword specialized fighter was always smacking enemies with his sword? I didn't waste any time thinking about that. The concept of "spamming" comes from video games. ZOMG !! there were videogames around before 4E ;) Its interesting to note that the notion of a fighter who is well trained in the use of a sword and uses it to defeat his enemies has come to be known as "attack spamming" rather than competently attacking. When did doing something radically different every round in a combat become the norm and attacking with a weapon become "spamming" exactly? It wasn't 4E since the OP is wondering how it was avoided in 3E. [/QUOTE]
