[QUOTE="greywulf, post: 3189316, member: 4285"] Meepo, trust me on this. Try the combat using single attacks in a round. If Mr Owlbear gets 2 claw attacks for +9 melee (1d6+5) and bite +4 melee (1d8+2), choose which to use and do just that attack, then move on. Your players are happy because their turn comes round quicker and they aren't just watching you roll dice. You're happier because you don't have to keep all those numbers and bonuses in your head, freeing up your time to inject some role-playing into the combat. Hey, when was that last time [I]that[/I] happened?! :) I've finished the first session of [I]Chicken Royale[/I], and I'm beat! Went well, but we left it where Todd Dreamspirit (Agent 311, native American Tough Hero) had been cpatured and about to be encased in liquid diamond. The other heroes (Mari something-or-other, Jack Honour and Edgar Collins, Agents 134, 221 and 310 respectively) are planning to break him out using by using pieces of the diamond coated chicken (did I mention that?) to cut their way into Colonel Anders' base. More details tomorrow............... [/QUOTE]
