[QUOTE="UHF, post: 5799461, member: 95672"] I would expect more sinusoidal activity on that graph. You can always pull a fast combat off in the older editions. i.e. Fail Save... players execute bad guy. For me, 4e combats take 1 hour... but I only have 4 players. In 4e because of the tactical options in the game, and the chance your players attention have wandered from round to round, means that the time to run a fight increases hugely for each extra player you add. My players in Pathfinder are all 3rd level and they just fought the Chupacabra in Souls for Smuggler's Shiv. It took 2+ hours. Longer than any 4e battle I've run, but just as fun and funny. The Chupacabra is hovering just off the cliff face, about 40 feet up with the Fighter in its mouth. Enter the ADD Magus, "[I]I leap off the cliff and hit it with my shocking grasp sword![/I]" "OK, I'll give you that... but no matter what you do, you will fall. OK? Roll." "[I]1[/I]" *Splat* (Even the fighter in the Chupacabra's mouth took the time to laugh.) [/QUOTE]
