poll about gaming time on combat (fraction)

[UngeheuerLich]

My problem is that combat somehow just takes tooo long. Even small encounters are taking forever sometimes.

Combat preparation time also takes forever. Mainly buying magical items to not be killed in the next fight in no time at all...

And because combat is fun, I really apreciate not beeing dependant on magical items any longer, so this should make a better balance between roleplaying and combat oriented stuff.

About 50%. We have some games that are all combat, some that have none at all, and a lot of in betweens of varying amount. Best guess, though.

We've had 1-round combats and we've had 20-round combats. 1-round lasts maybe 5 minutes. 20-rounds lasted an hour, maybe more. We can really roll into multiples when exploring a dungeon.

But we spend most of our time outside the traditional dungeon.

(our DM says he uses the "whole world is a dungeon" design philosophy. I still can't find what damned magazine/book that's from)
