[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 5574004, member: 92305"] Whether a game mechanic is "good" is often a matter of taste. If a game suggested throwing higher d6 dice for combat, one player may laud it as an easy-to-use system and a firm foundation for which the entire game rests. Another player would smirk at it and find throwing higher d6 dice as totally unacceptible and unrealistic. That's actually what attracts me to it. That, and it seems to me to be more realistic. But, I'm glad to see the discussion to the contrary. Thanks for bringing that up. I wasn't picturing exiting melee as a quick turn tail and run. I was thinking more of a defensive out. But, I guess we have rules for that. So, maybe that's why the rule exists--because moving at full move away from your foe is basically turning tail and running--with your back to the enemy. He gets a kick out of trying to provoke me. But, no AoO's coming from this way. I'm pretty hard to provoke. I don't let these types of things get to me. Life's too short. Besides, I don't respect him. He doesn't want to add to the converstaion in any meaningful way. He'd rather act as a troll and ask inane questions. Not saying they aren't. Just questioning the rule.
