[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8038219, member: 18"] I'm very visually-oriented too, and nearly became a professional artist - I'm still extremely, almost abnormally good at life portraits, and I can do this - and so can pretty much everyone I play D&D with, including my wife, who whilst extremely intelligent, has not played TT RPGs for that long. I also have ADHD (of a fairly serious kind) so it's not like I'm lacking disabilities or whatever. If you have to convert pips to numbers, then add the numbers, that's downright odd to me, because even non-human animals can typically insta-count stuff like that. I'm not joking or being mean - this is literally a thing birds and chimps can do. If you can't, okay, human brains are very diverse - I know that, I have serious ADHD as noted. But it is somewhat unusual, I would suggest, that a human has to convert pips to numbers first after some experience with dice. Now do note I'm referring to relatively low numbers. I dunno if I could instantly do it with 5d6 or more. But 3d6 or 4d6? Yes. With animals there's certainly a limit to the number, and I suspect the same is true with humans. [/QUOTE]
