[QUOTE="Gruns, post: 4545178, member: 10312"] [b]Worst Roleplayers Ever![/b] Hey all. Apparantly, my group and I are the worst roleplayers ever, and WE LIKE IT! As DM I roll all dice in front of everyone, do the math and ask if it hits, since I never remember my player's defense scores. We have this "game" down to a science! 1) Announce attack and target. "The Deathlock Wight fires off a Grave Bolt at you, Kravesh." 2) Roll d20 in front of everyone! (12) 3) Do math. (12+6=18) 4) Ask Player: "18 versus Reflex?" 5) Player responds. "My reflex is 16. Hit." 6) If Hit, roll damage in front of everyone! (d6=5 +4 ) 7) Tell player: "Take 9 Necrotic damage and you're Immobilized, save ends." 8) Move on to the next in line! Sometimes I imagine what it would be like to be a good DM... "The pale, withered figure before you mumbles some foul curse and points in your direction, Kravesh. Suddenly, a bolt of necrotic darkness springs forth from his outstretched fingertips and hurtles toward you. You do your best to dodge, but you are not quick enough. The bolt of energy burns like hellfire as it seeps into your flesh, dealing a moderate wound. You lose feeling in your legs as they go numb from the attack! You try to shake it off, as Merielle steps up to attack the foul creature." On second thought, I'll stick to the less flavorful way. Interestingly enough, all of the players in our group are either computer programmers or engineers. I wonder if that has anything to do with our preferred number crunchy, less fluffy style? Later!
