Thus you would have to do the same and it would be like some carnival version of The Hokey Cokey.OAs make perfect sense and they force people to act tactically.. if you are going to move away do so but know you made be penalized for it.I don't doubt this post has come from your frustrations using or dealing with OA but I don't have issue with it and when an OA is demanded AGAINST my character, I will call it from the DM as it is also quite exciting to have to defend yourself against enemies as well as fight them sometimes, especially when they are stopping you doing what you want.Removing OAs is like removing Crits or removing utility powers - sure you could do it and it wouldnt break the game but it would severly unbalance it</blockquote>
