The net result is that AoO rarely happen, so players rarely get to enjoy the thrill of killing enemies with one. The complex AoO rules in 3E in particular also tended to discourage crazy actions, such as jumping off a rooftop in order to get a charge in at a dragon with reach.Maybe switching to characters being able to make intercepting attacks more at their own discretion would be an improvement. The marking mechanic would need to be changed though.</blockquote>
