[QUOTE="GlassJaw, post: 3413051, member: 22103"] Ok, directly to the OP: what do you expect of your players or even better, what type of players do you prefer? If you prefer to have everyone at the table know the rules as-written yet you know you are bringing a very inexperienced player into the game, the responsibility is on you to get the player up to speed. Encourage the player to read the PHB/SRD and that [I]it's ok [/I]if they don't understand everything. The sooner they read the rules and become familiar with the terms the better. During actual play, [I]don't [/I]do everything for them. If they are making an attack roll and they need to add their Str mod, ask them to find it on their sheet even if you already know what it is. Repetition is key. You also explain to them why they are rolling, what and why certain modifiers are added, what the results mean, etc. Again, repetition. [/QUOTE]
