You've been to my games? I've long since given up expecting the players to know their
numbers - mainly because the ones who do are powergaming and squeezing every advantage out
of the dice instead of out of their imaginations. When my players stop looking at numbers
and just tell me what they're doing, it becomes a LOT more fun (and combat runs quicker
and more interesting, too....)
