[QUOTE="Bullgrit, post: 4640515, member: 31216"] <shrug> I have the time recordings, so I believe what I'm saying. The next time the druid plays, I will specifically record his rounds with a stopwatch (seriously). Unfortunately, that Player is DMing next week's adventure (and will probably last 2-4 sessions). We hate his wolves' and dire wolves' trip attacks (when we are DMing). Not because of the mechanic, which is very easy (two rolls by two different people can be made at the same time, so don't take twice as long to handle), but because they frickin' trip [i]everything[/i] -- giants, dragons, humanoid BBEGs, etc. (Dire wolves are too strong.) If we go a round without at least one trip attack, the druid must not be in the fight. The difference between me saying this about someone else, and you saying this about me is that I have actually directly measured/timed what I'm talking about. I'm not talking from feel or guesstimate, I'm stating recorded facts (for my group). As an experiment, you can perform right now, do this: Stop what you are doing, look at your watch, and wait 60 seconds. Don't do anything else other than wait for 60 seconds. See how long that is.
