Combat Estimation (D&D 5e)

Estimates are based on standard 5e rules: Setup + (1.5m × Participants × Rounds). A generic "Medium" encounter usually takes ~45 mins.

Why Pace Your Sessions?

Every Game Master knows the pain: You planned an epic boss fight, but the party spent two hours arguing with a goblin merchant. Now it's 11 PM, and you have to rush the climax or cut it entirely.

The Session Time Manager helps you visualize your "Time Budget". By allocating time blocks for combat, roleplay, and exploration, you can see exactly how much content fits into your slot whether you're playing D&D, Pathfinder, or any other TTRPG.

How Combat Estimates Work (5e)

Our combat calculator is tuned for D&D 5e, using the formula: Setup Time + (Time Per Turn × Participants × Rounds). Combat is often the biggest time-sink, and this tool gives you a realistic baseline so you aren't caught off guard.
