[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 9265365, member: 2067"] So, at the table, you say "I attack" and then wait for a response? Or do you roll the dice and say "I attack, here's the AC I hit and the damage I do if I hit"? Tables I've been at declare attacks with dice rolls. The interrupt means "wait, maybe not" or "wait, maybe roll something else." FWIW, I do this as a player, and it's something I encourage in my players, too (I don't want the monk to declare 5 times what they rolled, I want them to do the rolls and tell me what happens!) You could easily also say "I cast a spell" and then wait for a response, no? Yeah, I'm talking about that, too. What's curious to me is that there's apparently a difference in how you make an attack roll (where you pause for a response) and how you cast a spell (where a pause would interrupt)? I mean, it's legit that interrupts can be annoying, I'm just curious about what hits that threshold and what doesn't and why.
