So, another interest of mine has popped up...
Several features seem dependent on intentions for the round, so I am wondering if people still use a declaration phase or not?
Does your table use a declaration phase?
Does the DM ask what everyone is doing before starting the turn (or rolling initiative if you re-roll each round)?
Maybe you used to but don't anymore?
Maybe you didn't but now you do?
Once again, thanks to all who participate!
For our table, we did initative each round and declared intentions (attack, spell, movement, etc) before rolling. We could change our actions to Dodge or Disengage as default, but that was it once initiative was rolled. Just recently we changed it to roll-and-repeat, and now the DM lets us choose our actions when our turn arrives.
It works fine, is faster, and the DM doesn't have to remember who is doing what. If you have a story to share, please do.
