SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Problem: multiple attacks take forever, especially when combined with parrying and dodging.  (Roll one attack.  Hit?  Attacker rolls parry.  Failed to parry?  Roll damage.  Roll a second attack.  Hit?  Attacker rolls dodge.  Failed to dodge?  Roll damage.  Multiply this by two or three and it gets old fast.)

Solution #1: The Black Crusade method.  Roll an attack, degrees of success indicate your number of hits.

Solution #2: Flurry of attacks.  Roll a single attack.  If you succeed, you make a number of attacks equal to your attack rating.

Thoughts?

So, that\'s something, I guess.

....since when does this take forever? I am myself just asking the lower - initiative combatants to declare their action firsts, and it works like charm - since you know what the guy'll be doing, you can declare if you attack or save your attacks for parrying.
Furthermore, I consider that  This is Why We Don\'t Like You thread should be closed

I'm saying the amount of rolling required takes awhile.

I don't see it taking forever. There are no modifiers and each roll is roll under the same set stat. Also, many opponents don't have Dodge Blow and a fair few can't parry. I would say that 3 attacks would take around 10 seconds on average.

As for damage, we roll a 3d10 for each attack calculating the attack roll and damage at the same time. It saves a little time.
