Everyone needs to go back and look at Eric's post, and see how it's done, then copy that method. Really, it's the only organized way of doing things. I played a barbarian in a party with several arcane casters and divine casters; at any time I could have five, six, or more conditional mods hit me plus my own conditional sliding stats from Rage. Doing a simple table with the common mods was not only a help to me, it was a courtesy to my GM and fellow players. I didn't slow the game down and could give quick and correct info.Another thing we'd normally do is this: we use Tac-Tiles. So in a big battle one person would pay attention to the mods being tossed out and write it down off to the side of the battle. Bard starts singing: write down +2 to hit. Bless goes off, another +1, etc etc.Another thing that helps speed play along at higher levels is the ever-popular pre-rolling. If I'm at the point where I have five attacks doing 1d8+2d6+12+1d4, then I owe it to myself and everyone else to pre-do a to-hit roll and pre-roll all that damage so when the GM gets to my initiative I can say:Me: 35, 30, 29, 13, 19GM: hit, hit, hit, miss, hit.Me: (checking off the corresponding hits) "I do 170 points, 70 points of that is fire damage, 20 points is Holy. I lay into him with a series of effective chops and spit in his eye on that miss, grinning like a devil. 'Ah, take that, laddie! Looks like ye'll dine with your brothers in hell tonight!'"Do some simple prep work and not just sit down at the table with a mess for a character sheet that hasn't been updated in two levels.</blockquote>
