[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9352823, member: 6801845"] So much depends on the players. I had one player who always rolled one dice at a time and then had trouble remembering the rolls and adding them up. Even for things like fireballs. Me? If I'm playing a PC that has multiple attacks I have color coded dice for my attack and damage and just roll a handful at once. I'll even roll ahead of time, marking down what AC I hit and the corresponding damage ... if something changes and I don't get my attacks I just ignore the ones that didn't matter. But it changes my turn from several minutes of rolling into 30 seconds or so. For the monsters I always use average damage, even averaging dice damage on a crit. But you can lead a horse to water and all that. Some players will always just be slow when it comes to their turn especially when high level means a lot of options or battles that change dramatically at the last moment. A lot of my fights end with the enemy running, different "win" scenarios than a slog to the death or, as I said above monsters that hit often and hard but are relatively easy to kill. [/QUOTE]
