The mage, wizard, druid, or Bard take 10 minutes and gets no complaint. The rogue takes 30 seconds and gets told to hurry up.
d0o0o0d
That's because we all know he's gonna sneak attack, he just needs to hurry up and pick the damn target.
^exactly. And by doing that the rogue gets in the way of all the wizard/Druid/sorc's spells and they have to rethink their turn....again.

Roll20 man, keeps track of everything. Click on a spell, it asks you what level to cast it at (if applicable), and boom, it's done

that's IF you do your reading and fill it all out first. not all of the spells are in the compendium for some inane reason.
SometimesISayHistoryStuff
As my GM said. "You have 30 seconds to do your entire turn. You're not done reading your spells? Your character does nothing this round."
SnortCokeOffAWeiner
I've had people with their noses in their phones, waiting for their turn to come, and then sit there like "so what are we hitting?"
Then they are either not invested in playing and that means they shouldn't play. Or they are uninterested in the story that's on the GM.

I got banned from /r/blackpeopletwitter for quoting the boondocks
ChainmailleAddict
Wasn't the Boondocks created by a black person?

Hmm I'm suspicious because black people love boondock and are fairly ok with racist jokes. What did you really do?
No I literally quoted the boondocks. I can go dig up the message saying you're banned if you really don't believe me
TheBlackWindHowls
Maybe because he only likes to quote Uncle Ruckus.
PlagueDoctorInDaHouse
Maybe he told them he was white before telling the joke. BAM, suddenly less ok with racist jokes...

Maybe since white ppl have a long history of abusing black ppl, they get suspicious of a white kid's intentions when he says racist shit

If I get bored waiting for a player, I move on to the next person's turn. If reader isn't ready before their next initiative, lose turn.

I play a monk and never even have to deal with armor or weapons.
I played a monk not too long ago and had a “fury of blows” move, man does that move do some work
naytorin
Monks are BAMFs. Right up there with Barbarians in terms of meelee damage.
Aeturo
Funny. One player recently played barb and was disappointed with the DPS. Granted, he was bear totem built as a tank not a heavy hitter
Pootisborn
They're weaker at tanking melee hits, although between evasion, deflect missiles and various immunities that's all they have to worry about.
I go for notes myself "It does this and it's on this page". Cuz let me tell you, I am NOT memorizing every goddamn feature of all 27 spells.
ChiLLeCheeze
Do you just yell and scream as a Barbarian? I imagine that's what they usually do as they go on a killing spree.
Nah, positioning is key for melee.
Dormninja
Play enough wizards and you will whether you notice or not.
Eh, I'm fairly good but even then ranges and spell components are things I've got to dig out of the books.
Got them all in an excel sheet. Can instantly sort by name, casting time, level, school, etc.
stoutde
That's fine, I just don't like an extra half hour wasted per combat round while wizards look up what they can do..
Make them write up a list that looks like this: Firebreath (1/2 level) d6 30' cone. Core Rulebook pg 256.
IFoldlyGo
1 spell level per sheet (if it all fits on one page), with page number and mechanical effects. Paperclips to represent memorized spells
CrouchingTigerFailingStudent
Spell cards are the way to go bro.
I just have it all hyperlinked to PRD versions which are also helpfully kept up to date with errata. Not offline workable, but quick.
One of my players let me look over his sheet once...he doesn't copy the mechanical effect of anything. He just remembers the idea and 1/2
Looks up what they do mechanically every single time. I printed spell cards for him just to speed it up
...all 27 spells? hahahahahahahaha
I'm only level 2 atm. I've done the "shit, what can I cast in silence" with 50+ spell spontaneous casters before. You CAN'T memorize 1/2
many spells down to that level of detail. Only keep helpful notes and dig for the actual spell when it comes up. 2/2
Optimushroom
That example is really easy, since there are only 24 spells in all published material as of XGtE that don't have verbal components.

It's fine to clarify a range or effect but looking up the whole. DAMN. THING!
