[QUOTE="RefinedBean, post: 4786033, member: 55016"] Depends on the campaign. I'll choose Rappacion, my 15th level Hexblade (which is a Beastmaster Ranger re-fluffed so that the Hunter's Quarry is a "Hex" and his Beast is actually his Dark Companion from the ol' 3.5 PHB2.) Rappacion isn't seeing any play tonight due to Mother's Day. :( About 4-5 hours, once per week, with some stuff done by e-mail (minor RP stuff) Varies by session, but on average I'd say 2-3 Also varies...probably on average, maybe 45 minutes to an hour. Longer if it's an epic battle (pauses for dialogue, changes in terrain/venue, chase scenes, etc.) [qoute]-How many players do you play with?[/quote] 3 players, plus a DMPC and some other random NPC helpers. What else are you doing outside of combat? :confused: Seriously, though, probably about 2/12 hours, making the session about half and half. Although we RP during combat, too. For example, another player is playing a Dark Pact Warlock, so we've both changed the fluff of our powers to reflect that we use "darkness" from the Shadowfell in our powers. So the Warlock will sometimes suck the darkness out of my Dark Companion to empower her spells, my Hexblade will grab the Warlock's missed attacks with my weapon and launch it back at the target. Kind of anime-ish, but good fun! Some combats definitely have that feel. For me, it's not a bad thing; it allows more room for in-combat RP. I do have to remind myself that I can use skills and what-not as well as powers. Oh, heck yes. I haven't been in a D&D game in my life that hasn't been houseruled in some way or another, and this campaign is certainly no exception. Hope this info helps! [/QUOTE]
