[QUOTE="Duncan Haldane, post: 44100, member: 514"] I personally like AoO. If you do something stupid in the middle of combat and your opponent gets a free swing at you. Want to stand next to your opponent while winding back your crossbow? Well then, he gets a free swing. Going to stand over the body of your friend and try to stop them bleeding to death? Well, the opponent standing next to them gets a free swing at you. the other situation I had when DMing which I liked was after one of my monsters provoked an AoO against a PC, another monster thought he could run past, since the PC had already used his AoO that round - but the monster didn't know that the PC had Combat Reflexes, and down went the monster. AoO have greatly increased the tactics in my games. Working with Flanking and Sneak attacks it makes a big difference. Now there is consequences to being surrounded. to attempting to cast a spell while your opponent stands next to you, etc. It takes a while to get all the rules down with a group, but the result is very beneficial.
