I hear ya man. Tho' I bet you're probably still faster than a couple of dudes in my group who have no brain disorders but they are freakin' slow as hell when counting up a 10d6 roll.JonSetanta wrote:

noun: dyscalculia
severe difficulty in making arithmetical calculations, as a result of brain disorder.
It's like dyslexia, only less popular. I have it.
EDIT: On further thought, the definition does say "severe" but in my case it was just enough to make Trig and Algebra in high school extremely difficult, and Calculus impossible.
While it wouldn't take five minutes to count 10d6, I have been yelled at and fingers have been snapped by less couth players (hasty?) for taking too long.
Like I said earlier, I think part of why D&D is successful is because it's _fun_ to roll for both the hit and the damage. But to accommodate some people with unusual situations, I think using a dice roller app would be ok (whereas normally people who use dice roller apps should be banned from D&D and ostracized from nerd society). Even the dreaded dice roller app is better than static damage!
