[QUOTE="Faerl'Elghinn, post: 1580517, member: 17810"] I know. I always used to tell my DM, "I hit AC 'X'," and then sit around and watch other people (experienced players) just call out their straight die rolls. It was fairly simple, although having the numbers run conversely like that was kind of counterintuitive. IMO, the simplicity of the attack roll/AC system is the absolute number one BEST change made by the new rules. However, I still constantly watch people roll the die, and if it lands on a 17, they call out, "17!" and sit there waiting for the DM to declare it a hit. I find it very frustrating that many players don't get involved enough to really develop a working grasp on the rules, simple though they may be. It took me about 5 minutes to gain a complete understanding of the basics of combat, skill checks, ability score modifiers, and other such painfully simple and straightforward aspects of the game, and I am considered by many to be exceptionally scatterbrained. All I did was open the books and start flipping... [/QUOTE]
