Message: <blockquote data-quote="AaronOfBarbaria" data-source="post: 6842496" data-attributes="member: 6701872">5 rounds of combat usually takes my group less than 20 minutes with 5 PCs, and I've not seen any encounters which were reach the point of being a forgone conclusion more than an action or two before actually concluding (do you not have combat end in any way but one side being unconscious/dead? I tend to have retreat or surrender once its obvious that actually winning is out of the question, so maybe that's the difference).As for hating waiting, I'm a patient person (until about the fourth cup of coffee, at least) so I don't notice the smattering of minutes that might pass between my turns as the monsters (also, the frequent descriptive flourishes added during everyone's turns like alters the feeling of the time from "waiting" to "playing" even though I'm not the one making decisions and rolling dice....or it could just be that you don't have as much experience with slower-running systems that my group also plays, so what seems fast to us by comparison to other games (where we spend 4 hours resolving just one thing) could seem slow to you.</blockquote>
