then one of them should be them one running a 3.5 game. EDIT: i think that came off as ruder than I intended. i just meant that one of the people who know the system are the ones who should be running it, rather than the system masters sitting on the PC side playing "surprise the dm with new rules he has not gotten the hang of"

I'm not sure how the creatures strategies would have evolved to stop simple combos like this from ruining them. It seems like the boss fights are gonna be too easy these days.
The AoO on standing up was a big mistake added to the 3.5 ruleset. It further devalues the challenge posed by medium creatures.
