quick tip for faster D&D combat Pre-roll
0:03
initiative A lot of RPGs are moving to
0:06
static initiative stats for monsters
0:09
specifically because this speeds up
0:12
combat so much If it takes you like 5
0:15
minutes at the beginning of every
0:16
encounter for everyone to roll
0:17
initiative including the monsters and
0:19
then for you to sort everything that is
0:21
a huge amount of time that you're not
0:23
actively engaged in the game really that
0:25
everyone's sitting around waiting for
0:26
something to happen and a lot of
0:28
pressure is on the dungeon master or
0:29
game master So if you pre-roll
0:32
initiative or if you just take 10 plus
0:35
their initiative modifier for the
0:36
monsters then all of that is frontloaded
0:39
before the session even begins So you're
0:42
cutting out that effectively wasted play
