But I also regularly play with folks with whom every session starts something likeDM: “Make an Investigation check.”Player A: “Ok, what do I roll for Investigation again?”DM: “A d20 plus your Investigation…”Player A: “Right! ok, Investigation… Investigation… where is that again…? Oh! Ok, that’s 8… plus… umm… ok, 14!”DM: “Ok, so you don’t find any…”Player B: “Wait! I use Bardic Inspiration!”DM: “Well normally you’d have to…Player B: “How does that work again?”DM: “You basically give the other player one of your bardic inspiration dice as a bonus, but…”Player B: “Right! How many times can I use that?”DM: “It depends on your level, but you’d have needed to…”Player A: “What die do I add again?”DM: “Well you can’t…”Player B: “Hang on, let me check… It’s a d… 6? No, wait, we leveled up last session so d8!”DM: “Actually, you…”Player A: “Oh, wait, I can spend my inspiration to get advantage! So that’s actually an 18, plus… umm… what do I add again?”DM: [sighing] “it doesn’t matter, you succeed either way.”I’m exaggerating of course, but only by a little. And don’t get me started on having to remind people which die is which, or that attack bonus and damage bonus are different things!</blockquote>
