[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 5042774, member: 2011"] I think this is an issue for specific PCs in the game system. As such, I think each DM should realize this before allowing these PCs in their game and if they do allow them in the game, the DM should be cognizant of the issue and should allow the player of this type of PC to respond accordingly. This is only fair. As an example, the DM in such a campaign might want to list all of the attack rolls and their potential success first and ask that player if he wants to interrupt any of them. But, solutions like this require that both the DM and the player work together to post their decisions in a timely manner. It's not fair to other players to wait days for the player of the PC that can interrupt to finally respond to the DM's query, or for the DM to finally respond with the results of the interrupt. And, solutions like this are even more problematic if the DM posts the results of the first attack, the player posts whether he will interrupt, the DM then posts the results of the second attack, etc. I suspect that the smallest level of granularity is that of the DM posting all of the attacks followed by the player responding with any responses. I think solutions like this can work, but interrupts are precisely that. Interrupts. As such, they interrupt the timeliness of PBP messages as much as they interrupt actions in the game. So, I think this issue can only be proactively resolved by the DM and players involved and cannot be resolved by the community at large. [/QUOTE]
