Mitigating players spamming Help, Guidance, Bardic Inspiration, and oh I’ll roll too?

[QUOTE="Swarmkeeper, post: 7496034, member: 6921763"] Whether you love or hate his shtick, The Angry GM has some good advice on this (and many other) topics: [URL]https://theangrygm.com/adjudicate-actions-like-a-boss/[/URL] The first (or one of the first) threads I posted here was about [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?602452-Players-Self-Assigning-Rolls"]players self-assigning rolls[/URL]. To be honest, some of the responses almost made me want to leave enworld completely (and taught me that sometimes the Blocked List is not such a bad thing to quiet the "noise"). Glad I didn't as there were many positive responses and many of the members here continue to make solid, albeit anonymous, contributions to improving the fun at my table through their thoughtful responses to posts. As @[I][B][U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=97077"]iserith[/URL][/U][/B][/I] points out, players rolling for checks without being asked "is not the paradigm in D&D 5e." I had to explain this for several sessions to my players, but they eventually caught on. We now have a new player (to our table and to 5e) and I find I'm needing to repeat this process, but I'm confident he'll break the old habits soon. At the time the player declares their Intention and Approach to a task, but before the DM declares a roll is necessary, is the right time for the other party member to cast Guidance or the bard to grant Bardic Inspiration - at least that's what I try to enforce at our table, too. Well, I suppose the bard could have granted the bardic inspiration well before the action and it would still be good as it lasts 10 minutes. [/QUOTE]
