poll about gaming time on combat (fraction)

[xechnao]

I would like to see a poll asking how much time of gaming does combat take.
Say 20%, 50%, 70% or 90% ??

In this poll by combat is not only intended actual fighting, but whatever adds to combat. For example magic item optimization, combat spell selection, character development-optimization (choice of feats) and many, many other stuff.


Thank you.

I know I voted in this poll before, and it wasn't that long ago.

(answer about 70%. I would like about 50%)

I thought the numbers should have been:
17 and 2/3%
51.234%
and
87%

Why did you pick:
20/50/70/90?

Is this a joke?

20 for people that combat takes a minor role in their gaming. 50% for those that combat is half the game, 70% for those that it is more than the half and 90% for those that combat is so much important.

For me, it usually varies between 70 and 90, I play with a lot of people new to the game, so that doesn't help much.

Ideally, I'd got for 50-ish myself. I like my roleplaying and my scenery description, but there's just something satisfying about dropping a few goblins.

If I'd want less, I'd probably go play a session or two of WoD, but 50% sounds just about perfect.

I voted 50% as I tend to go heavy on story and social interaction, however that 50% is an overall number, some sessions are like 90%, while others are practically nil on combat. I'd like about 50% in the new edition, but be able to do 50/50 most sessions.

Depends upon the group. I've played in 90% groups, I've played in 70% groups and I've played in 50% groups.

Never played in a 20% group.

Thanks. Interesting how a more focused distribution seems for now to give different results (more significant). I wonder how valid is this information. I guess at least a bit.

Perhaps also the fact that the other poll did not clarify that counts for combat time all the related things such as working on spells for combat, magic items, character development and whatever means something? Perhaps, but I guess not that much.

Well, lets focus on this poll now. Please, keep voting!
