    Just because I have a sense of what modifiers are and might check during encounter building doesn’t mean I have them all memorized. That’s genuinely like over a hundred numbers to have memorized. Plus I can look at a sheet while building an encounter and not waste anyone’s time.

        Do you want me to check all eight of their sheets and all their abilities that could possibly modify their scores or just ask them to make a Blah (Foo) check check and see what the result is? It’s gonna be way faster for everyone to just ask them to roll.

        I never said I didn’t have the sheets. You keep trying to make this about access to sheets.

            why did you let them roll in the first place?

            Because I don’t have everyone’s modifier for every skill, ability, saving throw, and attack memorized off the top of my head

            Why the hell not? You’re the DM. Why do you not have copies of your player’s character sheets?
