[QUOTE="Black_Swan, post: 3141689, member: 10982"] I'm looking for a little guidance to help my group track their bonuses and resolve combat a little faster than we have been. My character and the archer of the group each have anywhere from 3 - 5 attacks per round/ depending on bonuses..spells cast n' whatnot. How do you guys handle all of this die rolling? We've just steadily been adding different colored dice to our rolls so that we can declare our action, roll the dice, and then use each color to resolve an attack. This is getting time consuming for us. Espescially since we use a 3d6 variant instead of a d20. Not only this..but dependant upon where someone is standing they may get a bonus from aura's and other special effects. I try to keep everyone aware what bonuses I give by trying to pay attention to what's affecting them at the moment but it's getting really tedious. between crunching my own numbers, helping others figure out their bonuses, and keeping everyone aware of effects to make sure we don't miss out on any bonuses, the game is really starting to slow down. Any help is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
