Beg, steal, and rip-off whatever systems work well. If they come from videogames, from literature, from movies, or from monopoly, who cares, as long as they work well?Obviously MMO-style aggro doesn't work that well in D&D. Mostly because standing there getting wailed on and dictating actions are things that aren't a whole lot of fun in most cases. In an MMO, a defender in combat is constantly juggling the attention of the monster, giving them something to occupy their mind while they fill their role. A compulsion to attack isn't as exciting in a round-based combat system like D&D uses.</blockquote>
