[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 5474499, member: 386"] I do this. It goes much faster. edit: The big problem is how to deal with actions such as: Character A is 60' from character B. B has a Move of 6. A says that he's going to run away at top speed, 80'. B says that he's going to charge A. How do you resolve that? An example from a recent game. Three PCs (D, K, and S) open a door revealing a (Monster Vault) black pudding. The black pudding attempts to engulf all of them in its shapeless congeries of protoplasmic bubbles; D slams the door shut, K throws down a Thunderwave to push the black pudding away and moves back, and S runs away. How I handled it: * Each PC made a check, using whatever skill was appropriate. D used a Strength-based skill, K used his Thunderwave attack, and S made an Initiative roll. * The result of the check was the character's new Defence score against any attack, but only if it was higher than their existing check. * D and K's checks could be applied to all PCs. The result: * D, K, and S rolled poorly. The black pudding rolled poorly against D and K, but it hit S. * S was dragged into the room and engulfed while D slammed the door shut. I'm not sure I like that - adding modifiers to Defences might be a better solution. [/QUOTE]
