[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 7884870, member: 6987520"] Interesting idea. I would be more inclined to boost damage instead of hitting though since with BA hitting isn't typically hard (easily better than 50/50 in most cases). The time each player takes is a while for a couple of them. Although not "newbies" anymore, they aren't really experienced either. I know what most of my spells do, I know tactics, etc. from years of playing other editions. So, some of the time is them deciding on spells and other things. As for the module, one of the other players is running it, not me or our normal DM. This was only his 4th time DMing and it went pretty well. I am helping him as "co-DM", keeping him on track and helping him with rulings, etc. That adds a little time, as well.
