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.

I never mentioned having them memorized. I specifically said you should have a copy of their sheets. lol

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.

Yeah; you just assumed I meant to memorize it, despite my initial comment straight up asking "don't you have your PC's 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?
