[QUOTE="Admiral Caine, post: 4588270, member: 60438"] This is a less sophisticated and mathematical proposition, and I certainly do not mean it to be in any way the sole heart of the grinding problem... Rather this could be a contributing factor. ...but in my short lived (1st-4th level) play experience, there would sometimes be a player who just could not sort out his powers and abilities in a timely manner. They'd look at the battlemat, look at their powers, re-read a specific power. glance back at the battlemat, sort through their dice trying to pick out the ones they need... call out their intention.. roll the dice... look back at their character sheet.. double check all their modifiers. And this seldom changes encounter after encounter. Level after level. Often with the same powers and abilities. The same player insisting they don't need Power Cards. (That is not to say that there are not many who don't use Power Cards who are not efficient and prepared when their turn arrives. Rather I'm just saying there's no effort to made to be organized and ready, be it with Power Cards or something else) ::shrug:: Situations like this might partially contribute to why some groups experience a grind and others do not.
