• NOW LIVE! Into the Woods--new character species, eerie monsters, and haunting villains to populate the woodlands of your D&D games.

Numbers, numbers, and more numbers

What bugs me more is the player who counts up all his bonuses every round from scratch, even if he already knows what they are. "OK, that's a 13 on the die... plus 1 from the weapon focus.... plus 3 from strength.... plus 1 from the magic sword.... plus 1 from the bless.... um.... 19?"

Next turn: "OK, that's 9 on the die... plus 1 from the weapon focus.... plus 3 from strength..."

AAAAGH! I don't mind reminding someone of the bless or some other temp effect, but c'mon -- the bonuses you know are present every single round?

This!

With the OP's problem, I treat them like a kid, I ignore/edit out what they say until they get to the important part. If I don't hear an important part, they missed.
