The first part about limiting attacks of opportunity makes sense. I don't know if it's written in the core system or just a house rule, but I have never allowed cleave on an AoO. People always attack with their weapons.As for the limit of only taking an AoO if the previous or next action is a melee attack, I'm not so sure about the need for that. I don't see why a cleric with a mace in his hand can't bonk someone running past him, then cast a spell on his own round.And the part about the Combat Reflexes feat really confuses me. How does putting a fairly hefty limit on Combat Reflexes make it "very valuable feat"? As it is (without your limitiation), most players avoid this feat, or take it because it's a prerequisite for other feats. Even the players who have it hardly ever get to use it - not many situations come up where two different foes each provoke an AoO in the same round.Or were you suggesting that those penalties are applied to whoever provoked the attacks of opportunity?</blockquote>
