Hi y'all, my players have voiced concerns about the amount of time between combat rounds, I was wondering if anyone else has experienced similar problems and how they gave players more agency in combat when it's not their turn.

Thanks in advance!

Sometimes I get players to make a series of D20 rolls for me and note down the results. Then I use those for their opponents in a later round. Not in the order I get them - usually every second or every third.
