[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 4640264, member: 5143"] It isn't about flavor, it's about having fun. I don't have much fun discussing bonuses and rules for multiple minutes on each and every round of combat. My friends are pretty anal. I'll say it(sorry guys if anyone reads this). As I mentioned before, it doesn't matter if I write down my total bonus to hit from everything, I'll still be reminded of them every time I miss. It will be, continuously, "Did you remember the +1 from Haste? Heroes Feast? Righteous Wrath of the Faithful? Bless? Higher ground? Flanking?" And, it's very likely that I forgot one of them. I didn't put the higher ground bonus into my total bonus because I didn't have it last round or I forgot(or didn't hear) that someone cast Bless on their last turn because the player next to me was telling me about something that happened to them at work today(since they were bored and it was taking too long to get to their turn again). So, I did hit, just barely for 27 damage. What's that? Don't forget that Righteous Wrath gives a damage bonus as well? Yeah, I included it. Don't worry. What now? You're telling me that Bless doesn't stack with Heroes Feast because they are both morale bonuses? That can't be right, I thought Bless was a luck bonus. That's Prayer? Are you sure? Let's check the book, because if it doesn't stack then I miss. Looks like it doesn't stack. I guess I missed.....Now the DM is asking me how much damage I did since he already erased the monsters hitpoints and took off the damage. I don't know. I just told him the number and picked up my dice. Ugh, just remembering it gives me a headache. It isn't completely gone in our 4th Ed games, as my players haven't become any less anal. However, it HAS been reduced heavily. With no one playing wildshaping druids with animal companions, dervishes, or 3e wizards, the time for certain people to take their turns has gone down to about half what it was in 3e. People still don't pay much attention, but I'm always amused when I DM and I call out someone's name to let them know it's their turn in init and they say, "Me? Already? I just went." [/QUOTE]
