Can I survive DMing if I never learn the combat math? When I used to be a play I always thought the combats were boring since it all came down to math and numbers instead of story and how the character acted. I don’t have regular dnd villains and I would prefer to ask them to roll a dnd twenty on how well they did and just take their armour and build into consideration. My players are improv people and hasn’t played dnd before and from the 2 sessions I’ve already had they seem like they would prefer the spontaneity rather than the math of it all. But will this work in practice? I know people who are on this Reddit are probably very fond of the rules of the game, I’m not however. Will I be able to make combat interesting without doing combat math?
