[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8310172, member: 6801845"] There are things you can do to speed up combat of course like rolling all your dice at once (I have color coded sets) or using averages but it's very dependent on version of the game and the PC build. We did use color coded tokens (along with a key), minis and so on. We still use minis and a handful of tokens for things like who's concentrating on what spell or if we have ongoing effects like poison or blindness. Especially in 4E, at higher levels I feel like every additional person at the table can add exponentially to the time it takes to resolve a round. Depends on builds and scenarios of course. Personally I never manage to have less than 6 people. I'd love to lower it to a 4 person party, but people ask if a friend or sibling can join and next thing I know I'm back up to 6. Maybe I should just work on being a bad DM? ;) [/QUOTE]
