[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8269240, member: 7006"] At the end of the day it doesn't matter at all what any of us say here. The only thing to do is to actually put your rules into place, run and playtest them at your table, and then see if it helps your players or only makes things worse. My guess would be that if your players are really so blase about learning or remembering the difference between Actions and Bonus actions-- plus not actually creating for themselves a short list of like the 1-5 Bonus actions they actually have available to them so they always have that list at hand-- any rules changes or action name changes you make aren't going to help. Personally... if I had players that refused or were unable to remember Bonus actions... I'd just not allow them to take any features that used them. "No, you can't take that spell. It uses a Bonus action and you've proven over these last 7 years you can't be trusted with them. Take a different spell." ;) [/QUOTE]
