[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7596793, member: 22779"] Seriously? Outside of teaching a new player to play, your combats look like this: Player: I attack the orc with a longsword. DM: Ok, make your attack roll. Player: 17 DM: You hit. Roll your damage roll. Player: 7 damage. DM: A mighty hit the orc drops! Player: Now I want to move over there. DM: Ok, you have enough speed to do that. You can move over there. Player: Ok, now I want to second wind. DM: Yes, you can do that. Player: Ok, now I want to attack some more. DM: Well, you only get one attack per round. Player: Is there a way I can get more attacks? DM: You can Action Surge if you like. Player: Ok, I action surge and I attack the other orc. 14! DM: Wait, wait. I didn't call for an attack roll, that doesn't count. You have to wait for me to call for rolls. Player: Ok, right. DM: So, yes, make your attack roll. Player: I attack the orc. 13. DM: I'm sorry, but, how did you attack the orc? Player: Umm, I action surged. DM: Yes, I know you had the action, but, [i]how[/i] did you attack the orc. Player: Oh, right. I attack the orc with my sword. DM: Right, remember, you always have to state a method with your goal, otherwise I won't understand. A 13 hits. Player: Waiting DM: Roll your damage. Player: I do 4 damage. DM: Great, the orc is wounded. Dave it's your turn now.... Dave? Someone wake Dave up. Ok, that was a bit tongue in cheek maybe, but, seriously? You actually insist on Goal:Approach in combat? Yuck. I would blow my brains out. [/QUOTE]
