Concentration is a good mechanic because it makes combat faster and doesn't let it devolve to a prebuffing fest.
>>98446986Ok
>>98446986Crazy thought: why not correct the math so players don't feel the need to sit there wringing out every buff they can before battle? Maybe if a mere bandit captain didn't have average 52hp letting them tank 3 direct blows from a claymore wielded by one of the strongest barbarians to ever have lived, players wouldn't feel the need to video game the system?
>>98447136Combat already only lasts about 2 to 3 turns.You want it to be over in 1 to 2?
>>984469865e didn't go far enough with concentration, there are a bunch of stray utility spells that probably should be concentration, but aren't. Longstrider, Aid, Mirror Image, etc.
>>98447147>Combat already only lasts about 2 to 3 turns.>You want it to be over in 1 to 2?ntaYes."I weapon your HitPoints" is the least interesting part of any RPG session.Go play a skirmish wargame.That goes double for every time I have to slog through an encounter that stands no real chance of killing or really harming a player, but is solely there as one of multiple minor resource-drains before the gang reaches the 'boss encounter'.Make them one-round 'combats', narrate/dictate what it costs the party, then actually make some fucking story progress in the session.
>>98446986Have you tried not playing D&Dogshit?
>>98447180Get a load of this faggot
>>98447180Soft agree. A lot of dungeoncrawling is fully deterministic and contains no decisionmaking (and therefore no gameplay). If it can be automated, it probably shouldn't be in the game that much.

>>98447180>"I weapon your HitPoints" is the least interesting part of any RPG session.Only if your DM runs shit encounters with zero challenge.>Make them one-round 'combats', narrate/dictate what it costs the party, then actually make some fucking story progress in the session.Then stop playing tabletop games faggot, it sounds like all you want is play by post on a forum somewhere.
>>98447180damn you should probably stop playing bad games
>>98447180They hated him because he told the truth
nope.
>>98447180>hates combat>still plays D&Dwhat causes this behavior?
>>98447172It also doesn't take into account the very basic thought of a second caster in the multi-person adventuring party.
>>98446986Limiting pre-buffing is nice, but there are so many spells that are simply no longer worth using at all because they can't compete for your only Concentration slot.
>>98446986The lads at the gaming den had the right idea of limiting the amount of buffs to your level. So a 5th level character can only have a 3rd level buff and a 2nd level buff.
>>98447180>storyfag thinks his opinions on mechanical issues matterPipe down when the GameCHADS are speaking, you pleb.
>>98447180have you tried not playing dndogshit?
