[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8038795, member: 6987520"] Well, your tone has hardly improved IMO. And FWIW I [I]DID[/I] post numbers. Here, I'll quote it from the post for you: The two players have been in our game for nearly two years and just over one year. To speculate that "something severely messed-up is going on" is pretty rude again. You said in other posts you know peoples' brains work differently for each individual, yet because it is easier for these two players to add numbers than pips, you think something is "messed-up". I acknowledged this is for the people in my groups. That is all I have to work with. So, thus far for my groups it is 100% true for everyone and I have proven it as far as I can. Other people have even posted that scanning 2d20 is quicker than adding 3d6. Is it true for everyone? Probably not, and that is why I wrote "[I]most people[/I]", not everyone. Understanding a rule-system "in some detail" is not having every rule perfectly memorized. I doubt few people could claim such. In the point about Taking 10, I said I thought I had seen it, not that I was 100% positive. I [I]will[/I] claim to understand 5E "in some detail" as I address rules on this forum for people asking questions quite often and others agree with my statements. So, I agree with you that a thorough understanding is important, but I won't agree with you that I lack a thorough understanding of the rules for 5E. ;) Follow along of course. Since we won't be playing a normal session next week, I might be able to get a couple players to do some play-testing if they are free. I'll certainly be posting my findings as the testing progresses. [/QUOTE]
