[QUOTE="dren, post: 4099153, member: 5176"] This is one of my few complaints about 3.X system, it may cost a lot of feats / items to get really good at a combat maneuver, but once you have them it's in the players best instance to keep repeating the action...as the benefit is fantatastic (i.e. disarm, trip, etc...) But what is best for the character, is boring because, well, it limits the players creativity because they know the numbers and most will use those numbers to get advantage in any given circumstance, and few players (in my experience anyway) will pick a maneuver because its cool vs one they believe will succeed. It's one of my hopes of the new system that nasty but effective maneuvers will be limited to encourage PC ingenuity, without skimply replacing it with easy to kill monsters that provide limited challenge. Lots of maneuvers sounds cool, as long as it doesn't slow down combat because players need to look through lists. Right now its only bad for PC spellcasters that don't know spells.... [/QUOTE]
