[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 9777102, member: 50987"] Another bit of efficiency I should mention: I noticed that characters and monsters had to call their Three Things at the start of their turn, and those things would all resolve at once. For example, you would say: "For my three things, I will attack the orc with my sword, then attack the orc with my sword again, then move." And then you would roll two attack rolls, apply damage if you hit, then move to the new position. If you got lucky and dropped the orc on the first attack, the second attack was lost. (I say "lost," but wasn't that the goal all along?) You would [B]not [/B]say: "For my first thing, I would like to attack the orc." (roll dice) "And since the orc is still standing, my second thing will be to attack it again." (roll dice) "And I guess since I missed, I'll attack again." (roll dice). It was impressive how fast combat was with this system. It was a party of four heroes vs. a pack of ten wolves, and combat resolved in less than 15 minutes. At 4th level. In 5E D&D. [/QUOTE]
