Message: <blockquote data-quote="delericho" data-source="post: 8675546" data-attributes="member: 22424">Assuming that there are no disabilities in play, that none of them are brand new to the game, and that there are no other factors that would require additional support...I would strongly suggest explicitly stating some expectations for the group, so that everyone is on the same page:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">When it is your turn, you are expected to do so promptly. It's okay to ask for clarifications, but you are expected to be paying attention to the game and be ready to act.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Your character is your character. You are expected to know what your powers do and how to use them.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You are expected to choose your character's actions. Please don't ask what you should be doing on your turn, and please don't attempt to advise another player on their turn. In a life-and-death struggle your character's don't have time for these in-depth discussions; please act accordingly.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">If you are taking too long, the DM will advise you that you need to act now. Declare an action, or you'll miss your turn.</li> </ul>The other thing that would probably help, as others have mentioned, is to pre-warn whoever is next that their turn is coming.Regarding the specific players:These are unfortunate choices. But, essentially, they need to be responsible for their characters - they chose them, so it's up to them to know what they can do and how to do it. If need be, have them skip a few turns, and they'll quickly get the message.(But do state your expectations clearly first - otherwise, the first time you drop the hammer you're going to have a big fight!)This is a problem player behavior. I would advise talking to this player directly and explain that they need to pay attention.(The only thing, though, is that they might not be paying attention because the other two players are taking an age. So fixing one problem might fix the other. But you can't rely on that.)</blockquote>
