[QUOTE="KenNYC, post: 7405793, member: 6791261"] I am an old player who came back to the game after 30 years, and after two years being exposed to 5e, I am still confused about what you guys call action economy and just tend to ignore it. The action, extra action, bonus action, saving an action, weapon action, using an action to dash...it all is gibberish to me most of the time and I tend to just ignore it and just explain myself in english organically. I would rather talk in normal english "I walk into the room and look around" and just go with the flow rather than "I walk into the room 15 feet, do a perception check as my action, then walk back 15 feet, and as a bonus action I cast xxx", next round "I want to save my action until it triggers, and use my bonus action to do yyy" My way keeps me mentally in the scene, the other way I am always looking at my sheet and thinking about a rule.
