[QUOTE="Velderan, post: 9115981, member: 7038056"] That's one of the features I like. It encourages teamwork, because the frightened condition you landed may just be what setup a big crit for the next player. Same with positioning to create flat-footed conditions, combined with the reduction in who can perform an attack of opportunity makes combat a lot more interesting to me. While we were learning the system, I made it a priority to point that stuff out when it happened to help encourage the players to see the value in those little +1 bonuses meaning something. As people have mentioned, the 3 action economy can be limiting sometimes as people have pointed out but it also can be incredibly flexible in what it allows you to do. Encounters come as advertised. A moderate encounter can pose a challenge but shouldn't be hard with some basic teamwork. A severe encounter will require some teamwork to pull through. The one and only Extreme encounter I threw at my players (through a bad choice on their part, which they immediately recognized after it was too late) led to the 1 and only TPK I've ever experienced as a GM in any system.
