[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 6240572, member: 67338"] well it sounds like you did a lot of things we didn't... no minis were used until the last 6 months of 3.5... so no battle map no minis, just DM describe and say Roll intiative... then I would lay my D20's out with the modified number (at higher level 2d10 for numbers of 20) then I would say "Anyone before my XX" and if so we would jot down (sometimes me sometimes another PC doing it) then they would tak there action... set up and roll less then a minute most of the time... we used to throw CR 15's at single digget level parties... we almost never did low EL... wow our devish normaly was more of I roll X +y hit Z didthat hit? yes, ok my damage was XXX, I move and tumble past and made the DC, then rolled X +y hit z did that hit? way under tne minets... did you guys really call every bonus every time? Most times we just called I hit an X.... I don't belive anyone with any experience with there characters takes so long... In all my years role playing I've only found a few dozen unavoidable encounters...ever if all that is there is treasure, most of the time you could either curb stomp them or trick them or negotiate with them or sneak past them or anything else... if it is only money do those monsters really want to throw there lives away? DO the PCs? I've so very rarely heard someone say that... I mean you get XP or not, do you guys go looking for fights just for money and XP??? that sounds like the worst Murder hobo jokes??? when you need them they are there... [/QUOTE]
