[QUOTE="Kobold Avenger, post: 9024824, member: 779"] A Fireball hitting 4 targets should take less time because you roll once for damage 8d6, you usually don't have to add any bonuses to that damage, and I group numbers from die into sums of 5's or 10's to count damage to make the total easier to count. Then it's 4 targets roll their saving throw, usually the DMs job to do. It's either the total or half that for each target. 4 Melee attacks does take more time, because many players prefer to roll attacks first and then damage second. And the results of each roll can determine who they target on the next roll in a round. Some players do roll attack and damage at the same time, and having each separate attack using different colours, but with it's individual d20 and damage die having matching colours, helps distinguish for which attack each one is for. But it could be quite disappointing seeing a high damage roll connected to a missed attack with this method. [/QUOTE]
